Gimp: gimp: heap buffer overflow due to integer overflow in fits image loader

Description

A flaw was found in GIMP. A remote attacker could exploit an integer overflow vulnerability in the FITS image loader by providing a specially crafted FITS file.

Successful exploitation could result in a denial of service (DoS) or potentially arbitrary code execution.
