CVE-2012-2763

Publication date 12 July 2012

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Low

Why this priority?

Buffer overflow in the readstr_upto function in plug-ins/script-fu/tinyscheme/scheme.c in GIMP 2.6.12 and earlier, and possibly 2.6.13, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long string in a command to the script-fu server.

The vast majority of gimp installs will not be using the script-fu network server

The script-fu network server should not be used in untrusted environments. We are not going to fix this, marking as ignored.
