AI-suggested
Users should mitigate this vulnerability by avoiding opening FLI image files from untrusted or unknown sources. Exercising caution with the origin of FLI files can prevent triggering the denial of service. Monitor the Red Hat advisory page for updates on patch availability and apply official fixes once released.
Description
A flaw was found in GIMP. A signed integer overflow vulnerability exists in the `file-fli` plugin when processing FLI image files. This occurs due to an incorrect calculation during memory allocation for image buffers, where the multiplication of image width and height can exceed the maximum integer value. A remote attacker could exploit this by tricking a user into opening a specially crafted FLI file, leading to the application crashing and resulting in a denial of service.
