Summary
A flaw was found in GIMP. The PSD plug-in’s image resource header loader uses an incorrect destination size when copying a converted resource name into a fixed stack buffer.
Opening a crafted PSD file can cause a stack-based buffer overflow, leading to a crash and potentially arbitrary code execution. This Important flaw affects GIMP’s PSD (Photoshop) file import plug-in.
Exploitation requires user interaction to open a crafted PSD file (or otherwise cause the PSD plug-in to parse untrusted image resource headers). Successful exploitation can crash the plug-in process and may allow arbitrary code execution in the context of the user running GIMP.
Red Hat severity: Important — CVSS 7.8 (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H). Weakness: CWE-121.
Affected Red Hat products: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9. Will not fix / out of support: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Mitigation checklist
