Package : gimp Version : 2.10.22-4+deb11u5 CVE ID : CVE-2022-30067 CVE-2025-14422 CVE-2025-14425 Debian Bug :
Several vulnerabilities were discovered in GIMP, the GNU Image Manipulation Program, which could result in buffer overflows and potentially the execution of arbitrary code if malformed XCF, PNM and JP2 files are opened.
CVE-2022-30067
GIMP 2.10.30 and 2.99.10 are vulnerable to Buffer Overflow. Through a crafted XCF file, the program will allocate for a huge amount of memory, resulting in insufficient memory or program crash.
CVE-2025-14422
GIMP PNM 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 PNM 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-28273.
CVE-2025-14425
GIMP JP2 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 JP2 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-28248.
For Debian 11 bullseye, these problems have been fixed in version 2.10.22-4+deb11u5.
We recommend that you upgrade your gimp packages.
