CVE-2010-4541

Stack-based buffer overflow in the loadit function in
plug-ins/common/sphere-designer.c in the SPHERE DESIGNER plugin in GIMP
2.6.11 allows user-assisted remote attackers to cause a denial of service
(application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a long “Number
of lights” field in a plugin configuration file. NOTE: it may be uncommon
to obtain a GIMP plugin configuration file from an untrusted source that is
separate from the distribution of the plugin itself.
