"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-2026-022 advisory.

    A flaw was found in GIMP's X cursor (XMC) thumbnail loader. When GIMP generates a thumbnail for a crafted
    XMC file, it allocates a pixel buffer using a width * height size computed in 32-bit signed arithmetic. If
    that product overflows, the allocation is smaller than the true image extent. A subsequent GEGL buffer
    read uses the unwrapped dimensions and performs an out-of-bounds read on the heap (CWE-125), after integer
    overflow in the size calculation (CWE-190). This can crash GIMP or corrupt process memory.
    (CVE-2026-106061)

    A heap-based buffer overflow was found in GIMP's DICOM export plug-in. When exporting an image with
    extremely large width and height, the export path allocates a buffer using a 32-bit width * height (and
    bytes-per-pixel) product that can overflow. GEGL then writes the full uncompressed extent into the
    undersized buffer (CWE-787), after integer overflow in the allocation size (CVE-2026-106063)

    A flaw was found in GIMP. The PSD thumbnail resource loader performs a BGR-to-RGB channel swap with a
    fixed 3-byte stride and does not verify that the JPEG thumbnail is RGB. A crafted grayscale PSD thumbnail
    can cause a heap out-of-bounds read and write in the plug-in process, leading to a crash and potentially
    arbitrary code execution when the victim browses or opens the file. (CVE-2026-112257)

    A flaw was found in GIMP. The PSD plug-in's image resource header loader uses an incorrect destination
    size when copying a converted resource name into a fixed stack buffer. Opening a crafted PSD file can
    cause a stack-based buffer overflow, leading to a crash and potentially arbitrary code execution.
    (CVE-2026-119528)

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
