Amazon Linux 2 : gimp (ALASGIMP-2025-007)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 243201

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Amazon Linux 2 host is missing a security update.

Description

The version of gimp installed on the remote host is prior to 2.8.22-1. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2GIMP-2025-007 advisory.

 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-2025-6035)

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

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

Solution

Run 'yum update gimp' to update your system.
