Description

GIMP ICNS File Parsing Out-Of-Bounds Write Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of GIMP. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file. The specific flaw exists within the parsing of ICNS files. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in a write past the end of an allocated buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process. Was ZDI-CAN-27684.

Attack-Flow Graph

Executive Summary

This vulnerability is a remote code execution flaw in GIMP related to the parsing of ICNS files. It occurs because the software does not properly validate user-supplied data, leading to an out-of-bounds write past the end of an allocated buffer. Exploiting this requires user interaction, such as opening a malicious file or visiting a malicious page, allowing an attacker to execute arbitrary code within the context of the current process.

Impact Analysis

If exploited, this vulnerability can allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code on your system with the privileges of the GIMP process. This could lead to unauthorized actions such as data theft, system compromise, or further malware installation. Since user interaction is required, the risk depends on whether a user opens a malicious file or visits a malicious page.
