Amazon Linux 2 : gimp, --advisory ALAS2GIMP-2026-019 (ALASGIMP-2026-019)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 341902

Synopsis

The remote Amazon Linux 2 host is missing a security update.

Description

The version of gimp installed on the remote host is prior to 2.8.22-1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2GIMP-2026-019 advisory.

A flaw was found in GIMP. A signed integer overflow vulnerability exists in the `file-fli` plugin when processing FLI image files. This occurs due to an incorrect calculation during memory allocation for image buffers, where the multiplication of image width and height can exceed the maximum integer value. A remote attacker could exploit this by tricking a user into opening a specially crafted FLI file, leading to the application crashing and resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2026-59088)

A flaw was found in GIMP's PSD file format plugin. This vulnerability, an unsigned integer underflow in the `block_rem` variable, occurs when a user opens a specially crafted `.psd` image file. The underflow leads to parser confusion, enabling an attacker to inject arbitrary data as layer resource blocks. This can ultimately result in arbitrary code execution, allowing the attacker to run malicious code on the victim's system. (CVE-2026-59090)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Run 'yum update gimp' or or 'yum update --advisory ALAS2GIMP-2026-019' to update your system.
