A flaw was found in GIMP. The PSD plug-in’s image resource header loader uses an incorrect destination size when copying a converted resource name into a fixed stack buffer. Opening a crafted PSD file can cause a stack-based buffer overflow, leading to a crash and potentially arbitrary code execution.

Solution

No solution given by the vendor.

Do not open untrusted PSD files in GIMP. Avoid browsing directories containing untrusted PSD files in GIMP’s file dialog if thumbnail/preview loading may parse PSD resources. If GIMP is not required, remove the gimp package.
