Integer overflow in plug-ins/common/psd.c in the Adobe Photoshop PSD plugin in GIMP 2.2.13 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted channels header value in a PSD image file, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow, a different vulnerability than CVE-2009-3909.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2012-3402 is a file-parsing flaw in GIMP’s Photoshop PSD plugin. A malicious PSD image could crash GIMP and may allow code execution when opened or processed. The issue matters mainly where legacy GIMP versions handle untrusted PSD files. Exposure is likely limited to legacy systems running GIMP 2.2.13 or earlier, or vendor packages that included the vulnerable PSD plugin. Highest concern is desktops, media workflows, or automated image-processing systems that accept externally supplied PSD files. Prioritize remediation where legacy GIMP processes untrusted image files. This is not a broad internet-facing server issue by default, but possible code execution through document handling warrants prompt cleanup in creative, support, or ingestion environments. Mitigation focus: Inventory GIMP installations and identify versions 2.2.13 or earlier.; Apply OS or GIMP vendor security updates for affected packages.; Avoid opening PSD files from untrusted sources until updated..
