Description

A flaw was found in the file-pvr plugin in GIMP. When processing a specially crafted PVR image file, the VQ (compressed) decoder does not properly perform memory bounds checking. This missing validation results in a heap out-of-bounds read. This issue can result in an application crash, leading to a denial of service or a limited information disclosure of heap memory contents.

Statement

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