The version of GIMP installed on the remote macOS host is prior to 3.2.0. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - An integer overflow condition exists in PSD file parsing due to improper validation of user-supplied data. An     unauthenticated, local attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted PSD file, to execute arbitrary code.
    (CVE-2026-4150)

  - An integer overflow condition exists in ANI file parsing due to improper validation of user-supplied data. An     unauthenticated, local attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted ANI file, to execute arbitrary code.
    (CVE-2026-4151)

  - A heap-based buffer overflow condition exists in JP2 file parsing due to improper validation of the length of     user-supplied data. An unauthenticated, local attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted JP2 file, to     execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2026-4152)

  - A heap-based buffer overflow condition exists in PSP file parsing due to improper validation of the length of     user-supplied data. An unauthenticated, local attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted PSP file, to     execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2026-4153)

  - An integer overflow condition exists in XPM file parsing due to improper validation of user-supplied data. An     unauthenticated, local attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted XPM file, to execute arbitrary code.
    (CVE-2026-4154)

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

The remote Debian 12 / 13 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dsa-6215 advisory.

    Package        : gimp     CVE ID         : CVE-2026-4150 CVE-2026-4151 CVE-2026-4152 CVE-2026-4153

    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 PSP, JPEG 2000,     PSD or ANI files are opened.

    For the oldstable distribution (bookworm), these problems have been fixed     in version 2.10.34-1+deb12u10.

    For the stable distribution (trixie), these problems have been fixed in     version 3.0.4-3+deb13u8.

    We recommend that you upgrade your gimp packages.

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

  - GIMP JP2 File Parsing Heap-based Buffer Overflow Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This vulnerability     allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of GIMP. User interaction is     required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious     file. The specific flaw exists within the parsing of JP2 files. The issue results from the lack of proper     validation of the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a heap-based buffer. An attacker can     leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process. Was ZDI-CAN-28863.
    (CVE-2026-4152)

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

The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the UTSA-2026-014294 advisory.
