    Package        : gegl
    CVE ID         : CVE-2025-10921

    A buffer overflow was discovered in the RGBE/HDR parser of GEGL, a
    graph-based image processing library, which could result in denial of
    service or the execution of arbitrary code if malformed files are
    processed.

    For the oldstable distribution (bookworm), this problem has been fixed
    in version 1:0.4.42-2+deb12u1.

    For the stable distribution (trixie), this problem has been fixed in
    version 1:0.4.62-2+deb13u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your gegl packages.

    For the detailed security status of gegl please refer to
    its security tracker page at:
    https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/gegl
