Synopsis
========
GIMP is vulnerable to a buffer overflow which may lead to the execution
of arbitrary code.
Background
==========
GIMP is the GNU Image Manipulation Program.
Affected packages

Description
===========
Marsu discovered that the "set_color_table()" function in the SUNRAS
plugin is vulnerable to a stack-based buffer overflow.
Impact

An attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted .RAS file,
possibly leading to the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges
of the user running GIMP.
Workaround
