Shmuel H discovered that GIMP, the GNU Image Manipulation Program, is prone to a use-after-free vulnerability in the channel and layer properties parsing process when loading a XCF file. An attacker can take advantage of this flaw to potentially execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running GIMP if a specially crafted XCF file is processed. For the stable distribution (jessie), this problem has been fixed in version 2.8.14-1+deb8u1. We recommend that you upgrade your gimp packages.
