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, light effects filter, ICO, PIX or PCX files are opened.

For the stable distribution (trixie), these problems have been fixed in version 3.0.4-3+deb13u11.

We recommend that you upgrade your gimp packages.
