An issue was discovered in gThumb through 3.6.2. There is a double-free vulnerability in the add_themes_from_dir method in dlg-contact-sheet.c because of two successive calls of g_free, each of which frees the same buffer.

Weakness

The product calls free() twice on the same memory address, potentially leading to modification of unexpected memory locations.
