GIMP FLI File Parsing Out-Of-Bounds Write Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of GIMP. 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 FLI files. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in a write past the end of an allocated buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process. Was ZDI-CAN-25100.

The remote Debian 12 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dsa-5939 advisory.

    Package        : gimp     CVE ID         : CVE-2025-2760 CVE-2025-2761 CVE-2025-48797 CVE-2025-48798

    Several vulnerabilities were discovered in GIMP, the GNU Image     Manipulation Program, which could result in denial of service or     potentially the execution of arbitrary code if malformed XCF, TGA, DDS,     FLI or ICO files are opened.

    For the stable distribution (bookworm), these problems have been fixed in     version 2.10.34-1+deb12u3.

    We recommend that you upgrade your gimp packages.

    For the detailed security status of gimp please refer to     its security tracker page at:
