A flaw was found in GIMP. A remote attacker can exploit this out-of-bounds write vulnerability by tricking a user into opening a specially crafted XWD (X Window Dump) file. This issue occurs due to improper validation of user-supplied data during XWD file parsing, leading to a write past the end of an allocated buffer. Successful exploitation could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current process.
