From Red Hat Security Advisory 2011:0838 :

Updated gimp packages that fix multiple security issues are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having moderate security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base scores, which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each vulnerability from the CVE links in the References section.

The GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program) is an image composition and editing program.

An integer overflow flaw, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow, was found in the GIMP's Microsoft Windows Bitmap (BMP) and Personal Computer eXchange (PCX) image file plug-ins. An attacker could create a specially crafted BMP or PCX image file that, when opened, could cause the relevant plug-in to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the GIMP. (CVE-2009-1570, CVE-2011-1178)

A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the GIMP's Paint Shop Pro (PSP) image file plug-in. An attacker could create a specially crafted PSP image file that, when opened, could cause the PSP plug-in to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the GIMP. (CVE-2010-4543)

A stack-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the GIMP's Lightning, Sphere Designer, and Gfig image filters. An attacker could create a specially crafted Lightning, Sphere Designer, or Gfig filter configuration file that, when opened, could cause the relevant plug-in to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the GIMP. (CVE-2010-4540, CVE-2010-4541, CVE-2010-4542)

Red Hat would like to thank Stefan Cornelius of Secunia Research for responsibly reporting the CVE-2009-1570 flaw.

Users of the GIMP are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches to correct these issues. The GIMP must be restarted for the update to take effect.

Integer overflows in the BMP and PSD plug-ins potentially allowed attackers to execute arbitrary code on the victim's system by tricking the victim to open specially crafted files (CVE-2009-1570, CVE-2009-3909). 

Gimp was updated to to version 2.6.8 which fixes those issues.

Integer overflows in the BMP and PSD plug-ins potentially allowed attackers to execute arbitrary code on the victim's system by tricking the victim to open specially crafted files (CVE-2009-1570, CVE-2009-3909).

Integer overflows in the BMP plug-in potentially allowed attackers to execute arbitrary code on the victim's system by tricking the victim to open specially crafted files (CVE-2009-1570).

Stefan Cornelius discovered that GIMP did not correctly handle certain malformed BMP files. If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted BMP file, an attacker could execute arbitrary code with the user's privileges. (CVE-2009-1570)

Stefan Cornelius discovered that GIMP did not correctly handle certain malformed PSD files. If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted PSD file, an attacker could execute arbitrary code with the user's privileges. This issue only applied to Ubuntu 8.10, 9.04 and 9.10. (CVE-2009-3909).

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

A vulnerability was discovered and corrected in gimp :

Integer overflow in the ReadImage function in plug-ins/file-bmp/bmp-read.c in GIMP 2.6.7 might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a BMP file with crafted width and height values that trigger a heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-2009-1570).

This update provides a solution to this vulnerability.

Update :

Packages for 2008.0 are provided for Corporate Desktop 2008.0 customers

New gimp packages are available for Slackware 12.1, 12.2, 13.0, and
-current to fix security issues.
