Summary

The GIMP Hot color filter plug-in in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 contains a heap-based buffer overflow (CWE-119). For very large images, the pixel buffer is allocated with a 32-bit width times height calculation that overflows, while the filter accesses pixels using the true image size. A local attacker with no privileges needs a user to run the filter on a very large image, which can corrupt memory.

Description from the CNA

A heap-based buffer overflow was found in GIMP’s Hot color filter plug-in. For very large images, a pixel buffer is allocated using overflowing 32-bit width * height (and related) arithmetic while the filter’s pixel access path uses the true image size, after integer overflow in the allocation size
