Mitigations include avoiding browsing directories containing untrusted PSD files and disabling thumbnail previews in GIMP.
Description
A vulnerability in the file-psd plugin of GIMP allows an integer overflow during thumbnail preview generation of specially crafted PSD files. This overflow leads to a heap-based buffer overflow, which can corrupt memory and potentially enable arbitrary code execution or cause application crashes. Exploitation requires local user interaction by navigating to a directory containing the malicious PSD file using the GIMP file chooser.
