TITLE:
Gimp BMP Image Parsing Integer Overflow Vulnerability

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA37232

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/37232/

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

The vulnerability is caused due to an integer overflow error within
the "ReadImage()" function in plug-ins/file-bmp/bmp-read.c. This can
be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow by e.g. tricking a
user into opening a specially crafted BMP file.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 2.6.7. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Fixed in the GIT repository.
http://git.gnome.org/cgit/gimp/commit/?id=e3afc99b2fa7aeddf0dba4778663160a5bc682d3
