"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-2026-019 advisory.

    A flaw was found in GIMP. A signed integer overflow vulnerability exists in the `file-fli` plugin when
    processing FLI image files. This occurs due to an incorrect calculation during memory allocation for image
    buffers, where the multiplication of image width and height can exceed the maximum integer value. A remote
    attacker could exploit this by tricking a user into opening a specially crafted FLI file, leading to the
    application crashing and resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2026-59088)

    A flaw was found in GIMP's PSD file format plugin. This vulnerability, an unsigned integer underflow in
    the `block_rem` variable, occurs when a user opens a specially crafted `.psd` image file. The underflow
    leads to parser confusion, enabling an attacker to inject arbitrary data as layer resource blocks. This
    can ultimately result in arbitrary code execution, allowing the attacker to run malicious code on the
    victim's system. (CVE-2026-59090)

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.");
