AI-suggested
Avoid navigating to directories containing PSD files from untrusted sources using the GIMP file chooser. Users can also disable thumbnail generation in GIMP preferences to prevent triggering the vulnerable code path. These mitigations reduce exposure until a patch is applied.
Description
A vulnerability in GIMP's file-psd plugin causes an integer overflow when generating thumbnail previews for specially crafted PSD files. This leads to a heap-based buffer overflow that can crash the application or allow arbitrary code execution. Exploitation requires navigating to a directory containing the malicious PSD file using GIMP's file chooser, without needing to open the file. Default security features in Red Hat Enterprise Linux mitigate the risk of exploitation.
