"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-2026-020 advisory.

    GIMP PSD File Parsing Integer Overflow Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows
    remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of GIMP. User interaction is required
    to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.

    The specific flaw exists within the parsing of PSD files. The issue results from the lack of proper
    validation of user-supplied data, which can result in an integer overflow before allocating a buffer. An
    attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process. Was ZDI-
    CAN-29395. (CVE-2026-18301)

    GIMP TIF File Parsing Stack-based Buffer Overflow Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This vulnerability
    allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of GIMP. User interaction is
    required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious
    file.

    The specific flaw exists within the parsing of TIF files. The issue results from the lack of proper
    validation of the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a stack-based buffer. An attacker
    can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process. Was ZDI-CAN-29399.
    (CVE-2026-18303)

    GIMP TIF File Parsing Integer Overflow Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows
    remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of GIMP. User interaction is required
    to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.

    The specific flaw exists within the parsing of TIF files. The issue results from the lack of proper
    validation of user-supplied data, which can result in an integer overflow before allocating a buffer. An
    attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process. Was ZDI-
    CAN-29406. (CVE-2026-18305)

    A flaw was found in the file-xwd plugin in GIMP. When processing a specially crafted XWD image file, the
    plugin validates the image width and bytes-per-line parameters independently rather than ensuring their
    combined values are consistent with the allocated buffer size. This incorrect validation leads to improper
    bounds checking, causing a heap out-of-bounds read. This issue can result in an application crash, leading
    to a denial of service, or a limited information disclosure of heap memory contents into the produced
    image. (CVE-2026-80101)

    A flaw was found in the file-ico plugin in GIMP. When processing a specially crafted ICO image file, the
    plugin does not properly validate the used_clrs (palette count) parameter. This incorrect validation leads
    to improper memory bounds checking, resulting in a heap out-of-bounds read. This issue can result in an
    application crash, leading to a denial of service or a limited information disclosure of heap memory
    contents. (CVE-2026-82328)

    A flaw was found in the file-psd plugin in GIMP. When processing a specially crafted PSD image file, the
    plugin does not properly validate the channel-count parameter. This incorrect validation leads to improper
    memory bounds checking, resulting in both a heap out-of-bounds read and a stack out-of-bounds access. This
    issue can result in an application crash, leading to a denial of service or a limited information
    disclosure of memory contents. (CVE-2026-82343)
