CVE-2018-12713
This might be leveraged by attackers to overwrite files or read file content that was intended to be private.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.95%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
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.
