GIMP ICO File Parsing Integer Overflow 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 ICO files. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in an integer overflow before writing to memory. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process. Was ZDI-CAN-26752.

The remote Debian 11 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dla-4342 advisory.

    Package        : gimp     Version        : 2.10.22-4+deb11u3     CVE ID         : CVE-2025-2760 CVE-2025-2761 CVE-2025-5473 CVE-2025-6035                      CVE-2025-10922 CVE-2025-48797 CVE-2025-48798     Debian Bug     : 1105005 1107758 1116459

    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 DDS, FLI,     ICO, DICOM, TGA or XCF images are opened, or when using the Despeckle     plug-in on a very large image.

    CVE-2025-2760

        GIMP XWD File Parsing Integer Overflow Remote Code Execution         Vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the parsing of XWD         files. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of         user-supplied data, which can result in an integer overflow before         allocating a buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability         to execute code in the context of the current process. Was         ZDI-CAN-25082.

    CVE-2025-2761

        GIMP FLI File Parsing Out-Of-Bounds Write Remote Code Execution         Vulnerability. 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.

    CVE-2025-5473

        GIMP ICO File Parsing Integer Overflow Remote Code Execution         Vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the parsing of ICO         files. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of         user-supplied data, which can result in an integer overflow before         writing to memory. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to         execute code in the context of the current process. Was         ZDI-CAN-26752.

    CVE-2025-6035

        An integer overflow vulnerability exists in the GIMP Despeckle         plug-in. The issue occurs due to unchecked multiplication of image         dimensions, such as width, height, and bytes-per-pixel (img_bpp),         which can result in allocating insufficient memory and         subsequently performing out-of-bounds writes. This issue could         lead to heap corruption, a potential denial of service (DoS), or         arbitrary code execution in certain scenarios.

    CVE-2025-10922

        ZDI-CAN-27863: GIMP DCM File Parsing Heap-based Buffer Overflow         Remote Code Execution Vulnerability

    CVE-2025-48797

        Flaw when processing certain TGA image files. If a user opens one         of these image files that has been specially crafted by an         attacker, GIMP can be tricked into making serious memory errors,         potentially leading to crashes and causing a heap buffer overflow.

    CVE-2025-48798

        Flaw when processing XCF image files. If a user opens one of these         image files that has been specially crafted by an attacker, GIMP         can be tricked into making serious memory errors, potentially         leading to crashes and causing use-after-free issues.

    For Debian 11 bullseye, these problems have been fixed in version     2.10.22-4+deb11u3.

    We recommend that you upgrade your gimp packages.
