The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2026:50817 advisory.

    The GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program) is an image composition and editing program. GIMP provides a     large image manipulation toolbox, including channel operations and layers, effects, sub-pixel imaging and     anti-aliasing, and conversions, all with multi-level undo.

    Security Fix(es):

    * gimp: GIMP APNG loader heap-buffer-overflow when fcTL width exceeds IHDR width (file-png.c)     (CVE-2026-42169)

    * gimp: integer overflow in file-fits plugin causes a heap-based buffer overflow on crafted FITS images     (CVE-2026-66758)

    * gimp: out-of-bounds read in file-icns plugin causes information disclosure or crash on crafted ICNS     images (CVE-2026-66759)

    For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and     other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.

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

  - A flaw was found in the file-icns plugin in GIMP. When applying a decompressed mask during ICNS image     processing, the plugin reads from the mask data buffer without verifying if the cursor exceeds the     allocated resource size. If a crafted file contains a truncated mask resource, the icns_decompress     function continues reading past the bounds of the buffer. This out-of-bounds read vulnerability results in     information disclosure of heap contents, where memory contents are leaked as alpha channel pixel values,     or a crash leading to a denial of service if unmapped memory is accessed. (CVE-2026-66759)

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

The remote Debian 13 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dsa-6470 advisory.

    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, TIFF,     DDS, PSD, SGI, FLI, FITS or ICNS files are opened.

    For the stable distribution (trixie), these problems have been fixed in     version 3.0.4-3+deb13u10.

    We recommend that you upgrade your gimp packages.
