In KDE Krita before 5.2.13, loading a manipulated TGA file could result in a heap-based buffer overflow in plugins/impex/tga/kis_tga_import.cpp (aka KisTgaImport). Control flow proceeds even when a number of pixels becomes negative.

The version of krita installed on the remote host is prior to 5.0.2. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the SSA:2026-093-02 advisory.

    New krita packages are available for Slackware 15.0 to fix a security issue.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the krita security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The remote Debian 11 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the dla-4395 advisory.
