Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2026-106062

high Nessus Plugin ID 363639

Synopsis

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed with a vulnerability that the vendor indicates will not be patched.

Description

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

- A heap-based buffer overflow was found in GIMP's DirectDraw Surface (DDS) loader. When loading a crafted DDS image, buffer sizes derived from width, height, and pitch can be computed using 32-bit arithmetic that overflows. The allocated buffer is too small for the amount of pixel data written through GEGL (CWE-787), following integer overflow in size calculations (CWE-190). This may allow heap corruption and, in the worst case, arbitrary code execution in the context of the GIMP process. (CVE-2026-106062)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

Solution

There is no known solution at this time.
