Ubuntu Security Notice USN-1147-1
June 13, 2011

gimp vulnerability
==========================================================================

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 11.04
- Ubuntu 10.10
- Ubuntu 10.04 LTS

Summary:

GIMP could be made to run programs as your login if it opened a
specially crafted file.

Software Description:
- gimp: The GNU Image Manipulation Program

Details:

Nils Philippsen discovered that GIMP incorrectly handled malformed PSP
image files. If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted PSP
image file, an attacker could cause GIMP to crash, or possibly execute
arbitrary code with the user's privileges.

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:

Ubuntu 11.04:
  gimp                            2.6.11-1ubuntu6.1

Ubuntu 10.10:
  gimp                            2.6.10-1ubuntu3.3

Ubuntu 10.04 LTS:
  gimp                            2.6.8-2ubuntu1.3

After a standard system update you need to restart GIMP to make all the
necessary changes.
