GIMP PSP File Parsing Heap-based Buffer 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 PSP files. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a heap-based buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process. Was ZDI-CAN-28874.

The version of gimp installed on the remote host is prior to 2.8.22-1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2GIMP-2026-014 advisory.

    GIMP PSD 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 PSD 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-28807. (CVE-2026-4150)

    GIMP PSP File Parsing Heap-based Buffer Overflow Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This vulnerability     allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of GIMP.

    (CVE-2026-4153)

    GIMP XPM 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 XPM 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-28901.

    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 PSP, JPEG     2000 or PSD files are opened.


    For Debian 11 bullseye, these problems have been fixed in version     2.10.22-4+deb11u8.

    We recommend that you upgrade your gimp packages.

The version of GIMP installed on the remote macOS host is prior to 3.2.0. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - An integer overflow condition exists in PSD file parsing due to improper validation of user-supplied data. An     unauthenticated, local attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted PSD file, to execute arbitrary code.
    (CVE-2026-4150)

  - An integer overflow condition exists in ANI file parsing due to improper validation of user-supplied data. An     unauthenticated, local attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted ANI file, to execute arbitrary code.
    (CVE-2026-4151)

  - A heap-based buffer overflow condition exists in JP2 file parsing due to improper validation of the length of     user-supplied data. An unauthenticated, local attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted JP2 file, to     execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2026-4152)

  - A heap-based buffer overflow condition exists in PSP file parsing due to improper validation of the length of     user-supplied data. An unauthenticated, local attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted PSP file, to     execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2026-4153)

  - An integer overflow condition exists in XPM file parsing due to improper validation of user-supplied data. An     unauthenticated, local attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted XPM file, to execute arbitrary code.
