How to fix
Do not export untrusted high-resolution images to GIF; enforce maximum width and height limits in batch or scripted export pipelines.
Technical details
A heap-based buffer overflow exists in GIMP's GIF export plug-in due to 32-bit integer overflow when computing pixel buffer size. The plug-in allocates a buffer based on the wrapped overflow value while GEGL writes using the true image extent, causing out-of-bounds writes. Exploitation requires user interaction (performing a GIF export on an oversized image), and yields memory corruption, denial of service, or potential code execution.
