Important: gimp security update

Published Mar 10, 2026 · Updated Oct 29, 2026

Summary

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: Remote code execution via heap-based buffer overflow in ICNS file parsing (CVE-2026-2047)
* gimp: GIMP: Remote Code Execution via uninitialized memory in PGM file parsing (CVE-2026-2044)
* gimp: GIMP: Remote Code Execution via out-of-bounds write in XWD file parsing (CVE-2026-2045)
* gimp: GIMP: Remote Code Execution via ICO File Parsing Vulnerability (CVE-2026-0797)
* gimp: GIMP: Remote Code Execution via XWD file parsing vulnerability (CVE-2026-2048)
