Bulletproof really.              https://explore.alas.aws.amazon.com/              CVE-2025-10934 GIMP XWD File Parsing Heap-based Buffer Overflow Remote Code       Execution Vulnerability.       2025-10-29 This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute       arbitrary code on affected installations of GIMP.        User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability       in that the        target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.       The specific        flaw exists within the parsing of XWD files. The issue       results from the lack        of proper validation of the length of user-supplied data       prior to copying it        to a heap-based buffer. An attacker can leverage this       vulnerability to execute code        in the context of the current process. Was ZDI-CAN-27823.              Keep up your "Safe Hex" practices.              Don't do stupid stuff.              This is one reason, some distro installers have several security posture       settings, such as disabling sudo and having unelevated user accounts       plus a root account for package installation. Not everyone agrees with       the way that Mint is set up.               sudo gimp a-file-I-found-on-the-sidewalk.xwd # Naughty (a new user       might try this)               Paul              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
