The GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program) is an image composition and editing program. GIMP provides a large image manipulation toolbox, including channel operations and layers, effects, sub-pixel imaging and anti-aliasing, and conversions, all with multi-level undo.

The following packages have been upgraded to a newer upstream version: gimp (2.8.16), gimp-help (2.8.2). (BZ#1298226, BZ#1370595)

Security Fix(es):

  • Multiple use-after-free vulnerabilities were found in GIMP in the channel and layer properties parsing process when loading XCF files. An attacker could create a specially crafted XCF file which could cause GIMP to crash. (CVE-2016-4994)

Additional Changes:
