How to fix?

Upgrade Echo:latest gimp to version 3.0.0~RC1-4 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 Echo. See How to fix? for Echo:latest relevant fixed versions and status.

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.
