CVE-2016-4994 GIMP vulnerability
Title: GIMP vulnerability
Summary: GIMP could be made to crash or run programs as your login if it opened a
specially crafted file.
It was discovered that GIMP incorrectly handled malformed XCF files. If a
user were tricked into opening a specially crafted XCF file, an attacker
could cause GIMP to crash, or possibly execute arbitrary code with the
user's privileges.
Instructions: In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.
