Summary

A flaw was found in GIMP. The XCF loader can leave a dangling pointer in the linked-channels list when a linked channel is later destroyed via a selection property. Opening a crafted XCF file can cause a use-after-free in the main GIMP process, leading to a crash and potentially arbitrary code execution.

Risk Assessment

This can lead to an application crash or potentially arbitrary code execution in the context of the GIMP process. It poses a risk to users opening untrusted XCF files.

Recommendation

Update GIMP to the latest version containing the fix. Avoid opening untrusted XCF files.
