series of the Gimp Toolkit library, incorrectly frees memory which
GTK+ still holds onto and might access later, leading to denial of
service (application crash) or, potentially, to arbitrary code
execution.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description
block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted
to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without
introducing additional issues."
