Summary
Here are the details from the Slackware 14.2 ChangeLog: patches/packages/gimp-2.8.18-i586-1_slack14.2.txz: Upgraded. This release fixes a security issue: Use-after-free vulnerability in the xcf_load_image function in app/xcf/xcf-load.c in GIMP allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (program crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted XCF file. For more information, see: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2016-4994 (* Security fix *)
