DESCRIPTION:
Reaction Information Security has discovered a vulnerability in GIMP,
which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable
system.

The vulnerability is caused due to an error within the script-fu
server process when handling command input. This can be exploited to
cause a buffer overflow via a specially crafted packet sent to TCP
port 10008.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code, but
requires the server to be manually started.

The vulnerability is reported in versions prior to 2.8.0 (confirmed
in version 2.6.11).

SOLUTION:
Update to version 2.8.0.
