What is CVE-2017-17784?

In GIMP version 2.8.22, a vulnerability exists within the gbr import parser, specifically in the load_image function of the file-gbr.c file. This flaw arises from inadequate handling of UTF-8 data, resulting in a heap-based buffer over-read. This can potentially lead to exploitation, allowing an attacker to manipulate the way image files are processed, which may result in unauthorized access or data leakage.
