Summary
A flaw was found in GIMP's file format plugins, including those for PSD and PAA files. A remote attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities by tricking a user into opening a specially crafted image file.
This could lead to unexpected application behavior or other potential security impacts without requiring further user interaction. It is triggered when a user opens a specially crafted image file, a common user action for image manipulation software.
The local nature of the exploit is offset by the significant impact of potential system compromise or sensitive data exposure. Red Hat severity: Important — CVSS 7.3 (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H).
