A flaw was found in GIMP. 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.

The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the UTSA-2026-006281 advisory.

The version of Tencent Linux installed on the remote TencentOS Server 4 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TSSA-2025:0607 advisory.

    Package updates are available for TencentOS Server 4 that fix the following vulnerabilities:

    CVE-2025-6035:
    A flaw was found in GIMP. 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-2025-5473:
    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.

    Package        : gimp     CVE ID         : CVE-2025-2760 CVE-2025-6035 CVE-2025-10922

    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 DICOM or DDS     images are opened.

    For the oldstable distribution (bookworm), these problems have been fixed     in version 2.10.34-1+deb12u4.

    We recommend that you upgrade your gimp packages.

    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.

        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.

        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.
