 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian LTS Advisory DLA-4341-1 [email protected] https://www.debian.org/lts/security/ Sylvain Beucler October 22, 2025 https://wiki.debian.org/LTS
 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Package : gegl Version : 1:0.4.26-2+deb11u1 CVE ID : CVE-2021-45463 CVE-2025-10921 Debian Bug : 1002661 1116470

 Multiple vulnerabilities were discovered in GEGL, a graph-based image processing library, which could result in denial of service or the execution of arbitrary code if malformed files or filenames are processed.

 CVE-2021-45463

 load_cache allows shell expansion when a pathname in a constructed command line is not escaped or filtered. This is caused by use of the system library function for execution of the ImageMagick convert fallback in magick-load.

 CVE-2025-10921

 GIMP HDR File Parsing Heap-based Buffer Overflow Remote Code Execution Vulnerability.

 For Debian 11 bullseye, these problems have been fixed in version 1:0.4.26-2+deb11u1.

 We recommend that you upgrade your gegl packages.

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

Solution
