HTTP: GIMP XWD File Handling Heap Buffer Overflow
This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability in the GNU Image Manipulation Program (GIMP). A successful attack can lead to arbitrary code execution.
Extended Description
Heap-based buffer overflow in the read_xwd_cols function in file-xwd.c in the X Window Dump (XWD) plug-in in GIMP 2.6.9 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via an X Window System (XWD) image dump with more colors than color map entries.
