Package : gimp CVE ID : CVE-2026-0797 CVE-2026-2044 CVE-2026-2045 CVE-2026-2048 CVE-2026-2047

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 XWD, ICNS, PGM or ICO files are opened.

For the oldstable distribution (bookworm), these problems have been fixed in version 2.10.34-1+deb12u9.

For the stable distribution (trixie), these problems have been fixed in version 3.0.4-3+deb13u7.

We recommend that you upgrade your gimp packages.

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