A flaw was found in GIMP. When processing a specially crafted lighting preset file, the Lighting Effects filter does not properly validate the number of light sources. This can lead to an out-of-bounds write, corrupting memory. An attacker could exploit this by convincing a user to open a malicious preset file, potentially causing a crash or enabling arbitrary code execution.

    The GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program) is an image composition and editing program. GIMP provides a     large image manipulation toolbox, including channel operations and layers, effects, sub-pixel imaging and     anti-aliasing, and conversions, all with multi-level undo.

    Security Fix(es):

    * gimp: gimp: out-of-bounds write in lighting effects plugin via crafted preset file (CVE-2026-90947)

    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     PSD, light effects filter, ICO, PIX or PCX files are opened.

    For the stable distribution (trixie), these problems have been fixed in     version 3.0.4-3+deb13u11.

    We recommend that you upgrade your gimp packages.

    For the detailed security status of gimp please refer to     its security tracker page at:
