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 Debian 11 bullseye, these problems have been fixed in version 2.10.22-4+deb11u6.
