NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream gthumb package and not the gthumb package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

An issue was discovered in gThumb through 3.6.2. There is a double-free vulnerability in the add_themes_from_dir method in dlg-contact-sheet.c because of two successive calls of g_free, each of which frees the same buffer.
