Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2025-6035

high Nessus Plugin ID 252437

Language:

Synopsis

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed with a vulnerability that the vendor indicates will not be patched.

Description

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

- 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)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

Solution

There is no known solution at this time.
