Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream gthumb package and not the gthumb package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:16.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

A heap-based buffer overflow in _cairo_image_surface_create_from_jpeg() in extensions/cairo_io/cairo-image-surface-jpeg.c in GNOME gThumb before 3.8.3 and Linux Mint Pix before 2.4.5 allows attackers to cause a crash and potentially execute arbitrary code via a crafted JPEG file.
