Package : gimp Version : 2.10.22-4+deb11u6 CVE ID : CVE-2026-0797 CVE-2026-2044 CVE-2026-2045 CVE-2026-2048

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

We recommend that you upgrade your gimp packages.
