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, PSP or ICO files are opened.

For the oldstable distribution (bookworm), these problems have been fixed in version 2.10.34-1+deb12u8.

For the stable distribution (trixie), these problems have been fixed in version 3.0.4-3+deb13u6.

We recommend that you upgrade your gimp packages.
