"The version of gimp installed on the remote host is prior to 2.8.22-1. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as
referenced in the ALAS2GIMP-2026-018 advisory.
A flaw was found in the file-sgi plugin in GIMP. When processing an RLE-compressed SGI image, the plugin
allocates memory for a row table. The image header dimensions (ysize and zsize) are read as 16-bit
unsigned integers. If a crafted file sets both dimensions to their maximum value (65535), the
multiplication ysize * zsize overflows the standard 32-bit int boundary before being passed to calloc.
This integer overflow issue results in undefined behavior, aborting the plugin and causing a denial of
service. (CVE-2026-66757)
Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product security advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
