  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    An attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted .RAS file,
    possibly leading to the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges
    of the user running GIMP.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All GIMP users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=media-gfx/gimp-2.2.14&quot;</code>
