Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.59182
Category:Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:Ubuntu USN-494-1 (gimp)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to gimp
announced via advisory USN-494-1.

A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:

Ubuntu 6.06 LTS
Ubuntu 6.10
Ubuntu 7.04

This advisory also applies to the corresponding versions of
Kubuntu, Edubuntu, and Xubuntu.

Details follow:

Sean Larsson discovered multiple integer overflows in Gimp. By tricking
a user into opening a specially crafted DICOM, PNM, PSD, PSP, RAS, XBM,
or XWD image, a remote attacker could exploit this to execute arbitrary
code with the user's privileges.

Solution:
The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the
following package versions:

Ubuntu 6.06 LTS:
gimp 2.2.11-1ubuntu3.4

Ubuntu 6.10:
gimp 2.2.13-1ubuntu3.3
