  - GIMP ICNS File Parsing Heap-based Buffer Overflow Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This vulnerability
    allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of GIMP. User interaction is
    required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious
    file. The specific flaw exists within the parsing of ICNS files. The issue results from the lack of proper
    validation of the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a heap-based buffer. An attacker can
    leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process. Was ZDI-CAN-28530.
