Vulnerability Insight:
The GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program)
is an image composition and editing program. GIMP provides a large image
manipulation toolbox, including channel operations and layers, effects, sub-pixel
imaging and anti-aliasing, and conversions, all with multi-level undo.

The following packages have been upgraded to a newer upstream version: gimp
(2.8.16), gimp-help (2.8.2). (BZ#1298226, BZ#1370595)

Security Fix(es):
