Description

A heap-based buffer overflow was found in GIMP’s raw data export plug-in. When exporting very large images, g_malloc() sizing based on overflowing width * height * bytes-per-pixel can allocate far less memory than GEGL reads or writes during export, following integer overflow

Statement

A heap-based buffer overflow was found in GIMP when exporting raw image data. Exporting an image whose dimensions cause integer wrap in buffer size calculations can lead to a heap-based out-of-bounds write and application crash or memory corruption. The user must export an oversized image to reach the vulnerable path.
