Integer overflow in the read_channel_data function in plug-ins/file-psd/psd-load.c in GIMP 2.6.7 might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted PSD file that triggers a heap-based buffer overflow.

From Red Hat Security Advisory 2012:1181 :

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.

Multiple integer overflow flaws, leading to heap-based buffer overflows, were found in the GIMP's Adobe Photoshop (PSD) image file plug-in. An attacker could create a specially crafted PSD image file that, when opened, could cause the PSD plug-in to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the GIMP. (CVE-2009-3909, CVE-2012-3402)

An integer overflow flaw, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow, was found in the GIMP's GIF image format plug-in. An attacker could create a specially crafted GIF image file that, when opened, could cause the GIF plug-in to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the GIMP. (CVE-2012-3481)

A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the Lempel-Ziv-Welch (LZW) decompression algorithm implementation used by the GIMP's GIF image format plug-in. An attacker could create a specially crafted GIF image file that, when opened, could cause the GIF plug-in to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the GIMP. (CVE-2011-2896)

A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the GIMP's KiSS CEL file format plug-in. An attacker could create a specially crafted KiSS palette file that, when opened, could cause the CEL plug-in to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the GIMP. (CVE-2012-3403)

Red Hat would like to thank Secunia Research for reporting CVE-2009-3909, and Matthias Weckbecker of the SUSE Security Team for reporting CVE-2012-3481.

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)

A vulnerability was discovered and corrected in gimp :

Integer overflow in the read_channel_data function in plug-ins/file-psd/psd-load.c in GIMP 2.6.7 might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted PSD file that triggers a heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-2009-3909).

Additionally the patch for CVE-2009-1570 in MDVSA-2009:296 was incomplete, this update corrects this as well.

This update provides a solution to this vulnerability.

Update :

Packages for 2009.0 are provided due to the Extended Maintenance Program.

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).

Several integer overflows, buffer overflows and memory allocation errors were discovered in the Poppler PDF rendering library, which may lead to denial of service or the execution of arbitrary code if a user is tricked into opening a malformed PDF document.

An update for the old stable distribution (etch) will be issued soon as version 0.4.5-5.1etch4.

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.

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