A flaw was found in the file-icns plugin in GIMP, affecting versions 2.99.14 and newer. When applying a decompressed mask during ICNS image processing, the plugin reads from the mask data buffer without verifying if the cursor exceeds the allocated resource size. If a crafted file contains a truncated mask resource, the icnsdecompress function continues reading past the bounds of the buffer. This out-of-bounds read vulnerability results in information disclosure of heap contents, where memory contents are leaked as alpha channel pixel values, or a crash leading to a denial of service if unmapped memory is accessed.

A flaw was found in the file-fits plugin in GIMP, affecting all versions. When processing a FITS image file, the plugin calculates memory allocation sizes using signed 32-bit integers for width and height. If a crafted file sets both values to large values, their product exceeds 2^31 and overflows, resulting in an undersized heap-based buffer allocation. This integer overflow issue results in a heap-based buffer overflow when cfitsio subsequently writes a full row of pixels in the buffer, causing memory corruption, potentially leading to arbitrary code execution or a denial of service.

A flaw was found in the file-sgi plugin in GIMP, affecting all versions. When processing an RLE-compressed SGI image, the plugin allocates memory for a row table. The image header dimensions (ysize and zsize) are read as 16-bit unsigned integers. If a crafted file sets both dimensions to their maximum value (65535), the multiplication ysize zsize overflows the standard 32-bit int boundary before being passed to calloc. This integer overflow issue results in undefined behavior, aborting the plugin and causing a denial of service.

A flaw was found in GIMP's PSD parser. An integer overflow in readRLEchannel() can cause an undersized heap allocation for the RLE row-length table, after which subsequent per-row writes corrupt heap memory. This could lead to memory corruption, potentially resulting in denial of service or arbitrary code execution.

A flaw was found in GIMP. The PlayStation TIM loader, responsible for handling PlayStation image files, incorrectly calculates the size of the Color Look-Up Table (CLUT) due to an integer overflow. This occurs when multiplying numcolors and numcluts, both 16-bit unsigned short integers, resulting in a value exceeding the maximum integer limit. An attacker could exploit this by providing a specially crafted image file, leading to undefined behavior and causing the GIMP plug-in to abort, effectively resulting in a denial of service.

A double-free vulnerability exists in GIMP's Paint Shop Pro (PSP) file format parser. In readlayerblock() in file-psp.c, the variable name is allocated, used, and freed each loop iteration. On the error path in the 2nd iteration, fread fails before gmalloc for name, so the stale pointer from iteration 1 is freed again via gfree(name).

A flaw was found in GIMP's PNM file format parser. When parsing a specially crafted PNM file, the pnmscannergettoken() function writes a null terminator one byte past the end of a stack-allocated buffer due to an off-by-one error in the loop boundary check. This could lead to memory corruption, potentially resulting in denial of service or arbitrary code execution.

An off-by-one stack buffer overflow exists in GIMP's PNM file format parser. In pnmscannergettoken() in file-pnm.c, the loop condition ctr < bufsize allows ctr to reach bufsize (512), then buf[ctr] = '\0' writes one byte past the 512-byte stack buffer. The function is called from pnmloadascii() with a stack-allocated buf[BUFLEN] where BUFLEN = 512, with no extra room for the null terminator.

A flaw was found in GIMP's Paint Shop Pro (PSP) file format parser. This heap buffer overflow vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause arbitrary code execution or a denial of service (DoS) by tricking a user into opening a specially crafted PSP image file. The vulnerability occurs because the software incorrectly calculates buffer sizes when processing low bit-depth images, leading to an overwrite of adjacent memory.

A heap buffer overflow write vulnerability exists in GIMP's Paint Shop Pro (PSP) file format parser. In readchanneldata() in file-psp.c, for low bit-depth images (depth=1 or 4), linewidth uses a packed formula (8 pixels/byte) but fread() reads width bytes (1 byte/pixel). For example, with width=33 and depth=1: allocates 4 bytes, writes 33 — a 29-byte heap overflow.

This is a variant of CVE-2026-4153 (commit 98cb1371), which fixed readlayerblock() but left the buf allocation in readchanneldata() unpatched.

User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.

The specific flaw exists within the parsing of HDR files. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a heap-based buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process. Was ZDI-CAN-28266.

A heap-buffer-overflow vulnerability exists in the APNG (Animated PNG) file loader of GIMP. This flaw occurs when the fcTL width exceeds the IHDR width, leading to pixel data being written past the end of a heap allocation. Additionally, a heap-based buffer overflow exists in the DDS plug-in due to a BPP mismatch in the loadlayer() function. Both vulnerabilities can be triggered by opening a specially crafted image file, potentially leading to code execution.
