    <p>
    Henning Makholm discovered that the "xcf_load_vector()" function is
    vulnerable to a buffer overflow when loading a XCF file with a large
    "num_axes" value.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    An attacker could exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code by
    enticing a user to open a specially crafted XCF file.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All GIMP users should update to the latest stable version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=media-gfx/gimp-2.2.12"</code>
