RHBA-2012:1242 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated gimp packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise
Linux 5.

Description

The GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program) is an image composition and editing
program. GIMP provides a large image manipulation toolbox, including channel
operations and layers, effects, sub-pixel imaging and anti-aliasing, and
conversions, all with multi-level undo.

This update fixes the following bug:

• Prior to this update, the Postscript plug-in could abort with a segmentation

fault when saving images as Postscript files from GIMP if a preview was embedded
in the file. This update modifies the underlying code so to handle embedded
previews. (BZ#452998)

Users of gimp are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this
bug.
