Re: [Gimp-user] ANNOUNCE: GIMP 2.8.22 released

Hi,

we are releasing GIMP 2.8.22 with various bug fixes.

All platforms will benefit from a change to the image window hierarchy
in single window mode, which improves painting performance when certain
GTK+ themes are used.

This version fixes an ancient CVE bug, CVE-2007-3126. Due to this bug,
the ICO file import plug-in could be crashed by specially crafted image
files. Our attempts to reproduce the bug failed with 2.8 and thus the
impact had likely been minimal for years, but now it is gone for good.

Users on the Apple macOS platforms will benefit from fixes for crashes
during drag&drop and copy&paste operations. On the Microsoft Windows
platforms, crashes encountered when using the color picker with special
multi-screen setups are gone, and picking the actual color instead of
black from anywhere on the screen should finally be possible.

For a complete list of changes since 2.8.20 please see the "Changes"
section below. Also see the release notes of the 2.8 series at
https://www.gimp.org/release-notes/gimp-2.8.html

Happy GIMPing,

Overview of Changes from GIMP 2.8.20 to GIMP 2.8.22
===================================================

GUI:

  - improve drawing performance in single window mode, especially with
    pixmap themes


macOS DMG:

  - Make the launcher script also set BABL_PATH
  - Add patch for GTK+ Bug 743717 to the build which concerns crashes
    during clipboard operations with a clipboard manager active

    on some drag & drop operations
  - generate OSX package metadata during build


Plug-ins:

  - Fix for CVE-2007-3126, a bug in the ICO plug-in which allowed
    context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (crash)
    via an ICO file with an InfoHeader containing a Height of zero.
    We couldn't reproduce any crash in recent version, but fixed the
    error messages for good measure
  - Avoid creating wrong layer group structure when importing PSD
    files (already fixed in 2.8.20, didn't make it to the NEWS)
  - Prevent a crash in PDF plug-in if images or resolution are large
  - stop parsing invalid PCX files early and prevent a segmentation fault
