## Overview

A flaw was found in the file-psd plugin in GIMP. When processing a specially crafted PSD image file, the plugin does not properly validate the channel-count parameter. This incorrect validation leads to improper memory bounds checking, resulting in both a heap out-of-bounds read and a stack out-of-bounds access. This issue can result in an application crash, leading to a denial of service or a limited information disclosure of memory contents.

## Affected

- `gimp (all versions)`
- `gimp`
- `gimp (all versions)`
- `gimp:2.8/gimp (all versions)`
- `gimp (all versions)`

## Remediation

Refer to the linked advisories for vendor-supplied fixes and affected version ranges.

### Workarounds

To mitigate this vulnerability, do not open PSD files from untrusted sources with GIMP.
