CVE-2011-1178: Multiple integer overflows in the load_image function in file-pcx.c in the Personal Computer Exchange (PCX)...

Multiple integer overflows in the load_image function in file-pcx.c in the Personal Computer Exchange (PCX) plugin in GIMP 2.6.x and earlier allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted PCX image that triggers a heap-based buffer overflow.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2011-1178 affects older GIMP releases when handling PCX image files. A malicious PCX file can crash the application and may allow code execution. Business risk is mainly in environments that still use GIMP 2.6.x or earlier to open externally supplied images. Exposure is likely limited to legacy systems running GIMP 2.6.x or earlier, especially workstations or pipelines that process PCX images from email, web downloads, customers, or archives. Treat as a legacy software exposure. Prioritize remediation where old GIMP versions are used on systems that handle external image files; otherwise track through normal patch governance. Mitigation focus: Inventory systems running GIMP 2.6.x or earlier.; Review Red Hat, Gentoo, Mandriva, or upstream GNOME guidance for fixed packages.; Update GIMP using the relevant vendor-supported package channel..
