High 7.8
Gimp: gimp: out-of-bounds write in lighting effects plugin via crafted preset file
A flaw was found in GIMP. When processing a specially crafted lighting preset file, the Lighting Effects filter does not properly validate the number of light sources. This can lead to an out-of-bounds write, corrupting memory. An attacker could exploit this …

Gimp: gimp: heap-based buffer overflow in ico loader via integer overflow in embedded png dimensions
A flaw was found in GIMP's ICO file loader. When processing an ICO file containing an embedded PNG image, an integer overflow can occur during the calculation of the required buffer size. This leads to an undersized buffer being allocated, causing a heap-base…

High 7.8
Gimp: integer overflow when generating a thumbnail preview for a psd file
A flaw was found in the file-psd plugin in GIMP. When generating a thumbnail preview for a specially crafted PSD (Photoshop Document) image file, an integer overflow occurs during the multiplication of values from an embedded JPEG header. This leads to an und…

Gimp: gimp: out-of-bounds write in gimpressionist plugin via crafted preset file
A flaw was found in GIMP. When processing a specially crafted GIMPressionist preset file, the plug-in does not properly validate vector indices before writing into fixed-size arrays. This can lead to an out-of-bounds write, corrupting memory. An attacker coul…
