Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'gimp' package(s) announced via the DSA-3612-1 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
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.

Affected Software/OS:
'gimp' package(s) on Debian 8.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).
