gimp: A flaw was found in the file-pix (ESM) plugin in GIMP
CVE-2026-78475 is fixed in gimp on 1 platform, first by OPENSUSE-SU-2026:21869-1, released September 16, 2026. It is not reported as exploited. Patch Radar priority: Routine.
A flaw was found in the file-pix (ESM) plugin in GIMP. When processing a specially crafted PIX image file, the plugin allocates a Variable-Length Array (VLA) on the stack without proper bounds checking, causing an unbounded stack allocation followed by a 21-byte stack over-read. This can result in a denial of service due to stack exhaustion and a limited information disclosure of stack memory contents into an intermediate file.
