Impact ====== An attacker could exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code by enticing a user to open a specially crafted XCF file. Workaround ========== There is no known workaround at this time. Resolution ========== All GIMP users should update to the latest stable version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-gfx/gimp-1.2.12" References ========== [ 1 ] CVE-2006-3404 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-3404 Availability ============ This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-200607-08.xml Concerns? ========= Security is a primary focus of Gentoo Linux and ensuring the confidentiality and security of our users machines is of utmost importance to us.
