Description

A flaw was found in the Seattle FilmWorks plugin in GIMP. When processing a specially crafted SFW image file, the plugin allocates a Variable-Length Array (VLA) on the stack without integer overflow checks, causing an unbounded stack allocation. This issue leads to an application crash, resulting in a denial of service.

Statement

To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker needs to convince a user to process a specially crafted SFW image with GIMP, reducing the likelihood of exploitation. Due to this reason, this flaw has been rated with a moderate severity.
