      Windows and more operating systems.

  <description>
    <p>GIMP’s network server, scriptfu, is vulnerable to the remote execution
      of arbitrary code via the python-fu-eval command due to not requiring
      authentication.  Additionally, the X Window Dump (XWD) plugin is
      vulnerable to multiple buffer overflows possibly allowing the remote
      execution of arbitrary code or Denial of Service.  The XWD plugin is
      vulnerable due to not validating large color entries.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>A remote attacker could possibly execute arbitrary code with the
      privileges of the process due or perform a Denial of Service.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>There is no known work around at this time.</p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>All GIMP users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
    
    <code>
      # emerge --sync
      # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=media-gfx/gimp-2.8.0"
    </code>
