[slackware-security]  gimp (SSA:2016-203-01)

New gimp packages are available for Slackware 14.0, 14.1, 14.2, and -current to
fix a security issue.


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:
