"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-2026-017 advisory.

    A flaw was found in GIMP. A remote attacker could exploit an integer overflow vulnerability in the FITS
    image loader by providing a specially crafted FITS file. This integer overflow leads to a zero-byte memory
    allocation, which is then subjected to a heap buffer overflow when processing pixel data. Successful
    exploitation could result in a denial of service (DoS) or potentially arbitrary code execution.
    (CVE-2026-40915)

    A flaw was found in the file-fits plugin in GIMP. When processing a FITS image file, the plugin calculates
    memory allocation sizes using signed 32-bit integers for width and height. If a crafted file sets both
    values to large values, their product exceeds 2^31 and overflows, resulting in an undersized heap-based
    buffer allocation. This integer overflow issue results in a heap-based buffer overflow when cfitsio
    subsequently writes a full row of pixels in the buffer, causing memory corruption, potentially leading to
    arbitrary code execution or a denial of service. (CVE-2026-66758)

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.");
