Upgrade Centos:6 gimp-help-browser to version 2:2.6.9-4.el6_3.3 or higher.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream gimp-help-browser package and not the gimp-help-browser package as distributed by Centos.
See How to fix? for Centos:6 relevant fixed versions and status.
Integer overflow in the ReadImage function in plug-ins/common/file-gif-load.c in the GIF image format plug-in in GIMP 2.8.x and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via crafted height and len properties in a GIF image file, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information.
