Gimp: gimp: denial of service via crafted psp image file

3.3 LowFix available

A flaw was found in GIMP's PSP (Paint Shop Pro) file parser. A remote attacker could exploit an integer overflow vulnerability in the read_creator_block() function by providing a specially crafted PSP image file. This vulnerability occurs when a 32-bit length value from the file is used for memory allocation without proper validation, leading to a heap overflow and an out-of-bounds write. Successful exploitation could result in an application level denial of service.

gimp security update

The GIMP is an image composition and editing program, which can be used for creating logos and other graphics for Web pages. The GIMP offers many tools and filters, and provides a large image manipulation toolbox, including channel operations and layers, effects, subpixel imaging and antialiasing, and conversions, together with multilevel undo. The GIMP offers a scripting facility, but many of the included scripts rely on fonts that we cannot distribute.

Security Fix(es):

GIMP is vulnerable to a heap-based buffer overflow when processing crafted PSD files, which can lead to application crash or denial of service.(CVE-2026-2239)

A vulnerability was found in GIMP (Image Processing Software) (affected version not known). It has been declared as problematic.The CWE definition for the vulnerability is CWE-191. The product subtracts one value from another, such that the result is less than the minimum allowable integer value, which produces a value that is not equal to the correct result.As an impact it is known to affect availability.There is no information about possible countermeasures known. It may be suggested to replace the affected object with an alternative product.The vulnerability is also documented in the vulnerability database at CERT Bund (WID-SEC-2026-0361).(CVE-2026-2271)

A vulnerability was found in GIMP (Image Processing Software) (the affected version unknown). It has been rated as problematic.Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-190. The product performs a calculation that can produce an integer overflow or wraparound, when the logic assumes that the resulting value will always be larger than the original value. This can introduce other weaknesses when the calculation is used for resource management or execution control.Impacted is availability.The exploit is available at bugzilla.redhat.com. It is declared as proof-of-concept.There is no information about possible countermeasures known. It may be suggested to replace the affected object with an alternative product.The vulnerability is also documented in the vulnerability database at CERT Bund (WID-SEC-2026-0361).(CVE-2026-2272)
