DESCRIPTION:
Marsu has discovered a vulnerability in Gimp, which can be exploited
by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

The vulnerability is caused due to an error within the
"set_color_table()" function in plug-ins/common/sunras.c. This can be
exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow by e.g. tricking a
user into opening a specially crafted .RAS file.

Successful exploitation may allow the execution of arbitrary code.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 2.2.14. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Do not open untrusted .RAS files.
