    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:
    https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/gimp
