Title
Gimp: gimp: heap buffer overflow in dicom export on oversized image dimensions
Summary
A heap-based buffer overflow was found in GIMP’s DICOM export plug-in. When exporting an image with extremely large width and height, the export path allocates a buffer using a 32-bit width * height (and bytes-per-pixel) product that can overflow. GEGL then writes the full uncompressed extent into the undersized buffer (CWE-787), after integer overflow in the allocation size
Severity
6.3 (Medium)
CWE
- CWE-119 - Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer
