How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:unstable gimp to version 2.8.2-1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream gimp package and not the gimp package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:unstable 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.
