CVE-2018-12713: Gimp

Critical severity, CVSS 9.1. EPSS: 1.9% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

GIMP through 2.10.2 makes g_get_tmp_dir calls to establish temporary filenames, which may result in a filename that already exists, as demonstrated by the gimp_write_and_read_file function in app/tests/test-xcf.c. This might be leveraged by attackers to overwrite files or read file content that was intended to be private.

Affected products

• Gimp Gimp: up to and including 2.10.2
