Claudio Bozzato of Cisco Talos discovered these vulnerabilities.
Xcftools contains two remote code execution vulnerabilities in its flattenIncrementally function. Xcftools is a set of tools for handling Gimp’s XCF files. The software provides tools to extract
information from an XCF file, and then converting XCF files into a PNG or PNM file. An attacker could exploit these bugs by tricking a user into opening a specially crafted XCF file.
Cisco Talos is disclosing these vulnerabilities after xcftools failed to patch them per Cisco’s 90-day deadline. Read more about the Cisco vulnerability disclosure policy here.
