USN-8075-1: GIMP vulnerabilities

USN-8075-1: GIMP vulnerabilities
Publication date: 4 March 2026
Overview: Several security issues were fixed in GIMP.

Packages
gimp - GNU Image Manipulation Program

Details
Michael Randrianantenaina discovered that calculating the linear size of a
DDS file could overflow on 32-bit systems. An attacker could possibly use
this issue to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code. This
issue only affected Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, and Ubuntu 24.04
LTS. (CVE-2025-2760)

Michael Randrianantenaina discovered that GIMP did not perform any bounds
checking when calculating an offset into XWD Colormaps. An attacker could
possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary
code. (CVE-2025-10934)

It was discovered that GIMP’s PNM loader did not sufficiently check that
the image could fit within the allocated memory, which could cause GIMP to
read or write out-of-bounds. An attacker could possibly use this issue to
cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2025-14422)

It was discovered that maliciously-crafted TGA files could cause memory
corruption and leave GIMP in an inconsistent state. An attacker could
possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary
code. (CVE-2025-48797)

It was discovered that a maliciously-crafted XCF file could cause GIMP to
free the same memory region twice, or access an already freed address. An
attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service or
execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2025-48798)
