Descriptions

Heap-based buffer overflow in the KiSS CEL file format plug-in in GIMP 2.8.x and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted KiSS palette file, which triggers an "invalid free."

Desbordamiento de búfer basado en memoria dinámica en el complemento de formato de archivo KiSS CEL en GIMP v2.8.x y anteriores, permite a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio y posiblemente ejcutar código de su elección a través de un archivo de paleta KiSS modificado, lo que provoca un "invalid free."

Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in GIMP, the worst of which allow execution of arbitrary code. Versions less than 2.8.2-r1 are affected.
