Affected Products
=================

+------------------
The following products are known to be affected by this vulnerability:
* GIMP <= 2.8.0 (Windows or Linux builds)
Products Not Vulnerable
+--------------------------------
* GIMP 2.8.1
Details
=======
There is a file handling DoS in GIMP (the GNU Image Manipulation Program) for
the 'fit' file format affecting all versions (Windows and Linux) up to 2.8.0.
A file in the fit format with a malformed 'XTENSION' header will cause a crash
in the GIMP program. The flaw is triggered by opening a crafted 'fit' file or
allowing the file explorer dialog to preview the file.
A file in the fit format starting as follows will trigger the crash:
XTENSIONaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaHEADER2...
The vulnerable code is in the fits-io.c lines where the program attempts to
copy from a null pointer:
{
fdat = fits_decode_card (fits_search_card (hdr, "XTENSION"), typ_fstring);
strcpy (hdulist->xtension, fdat->fstring);
}
This code can be patched by changing it to the following (as GIMP 2.8.1):
fdat = fits_decode_card (fits_search_card (hdr, "XTENSION"), typ_fstring);
if(fdat != NULL) {
strcpy (hdulist->xtension, fdat->fstring);
} else {
strcpy (errmsg, "No valid XTENSION header found.");
goto err_return;
}
Impact
======
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may result in an application
crash and denial of service.
Solution
===========
The GIMP team have provided an update for this issue (release 2.8.1).
Workarounds
===========
The fits-io.c file can be patched as above.
