"The version of gimp installed on the remote host is prior to 2.8.22-1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple
vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2GIMP-2026-016 advisory.

    A flaw was found in GIMP's PNM file format parser. When parsing a specially crafted PNM file, the
    pnmscanner_gettoken() function writes a null terminator one byte past the end of a stack-allocated buffer
    due to an off-by-one error in the loop boundary check. This could lead to memory corruption, potentially
    resulting in denial of service or arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2026-58380)

    A flaw was found in GIMP's PSP file format parser. A double-free condition occurs in the
    read_layer_block() function when processing a specially crafted PSP file. This could allow an attacker to
    cause memory corruption, potentially leading to denial of service or arbitrary code execution.
    (CVE-2026-58381)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
