Description

This security bulletin contains information about 6 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-30067)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in GIMP. A remote attacker can trick the victim into opening a specially crafted XCF file, trigger classic buffer overflow and perform a denial of service attack.


2) Improper Handling of Exceptional Conditions (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-32990)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to unhandled exception within the gimp_layer_invalidate_boundary() function. A remote attacker can trick the victim to open a specially crafted XCF file and crash the application. 


3) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-44441)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the parsing of DDS files. A remote attacker can trick a victim to open a specially crafted file, trigger a heap-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.


4) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-44442)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the parsing of PSD files. A remote attacker can trick a victim to open a specially crafted file, trigger a heap-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.


5) Integer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-44443)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to integer overflow within the parsing of PSP files. A remote attacker can trick a victim to open a specially crafted file, trigger integer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.


6) Off-by-one (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-44444)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to an off-by-one error within the parsing of PSP files. A remote attacker can trick a victim to open a specially crafted file, trigger an off-by-one error and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
