gimp: A flaw was found in GIMP
CVE-2026-62438 is fixed in gimp on 1 platform by DEBIAN-CVE-2026-62438 (version 3.2.6-1), released October 17, 2026. It is not reported as exploited. Patch Radar priority: Routine.
A flaw was found in GIMP. An attacker can cause a Denial of Service (DoS) or potentially disclose sensitive memory contents by convincing a user to open or preview a specially crafted Bohemia Interactive (PAA) texture file. Due to an integer overflow when calculating image dimensions during file decompression, the application allocates an undersized memory buffer. Subsequent processing reads memory past the buffer boundary, terminating the plug-in process unexpectedly.
