referenced in the RHSA-2026:73768 advisory.

    The GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program) is an image composition and editing program. GIMP provides a
    large image manipulation toolbox, including channel operations and layers, effects, sub-pixel imaging and
    anti-aliasing, and conversions, all with multi-level undo.

    Security Fix(es):

    * gimp: GIMP APNG loader heap-buffer-overflow when fcTL width exceeds IHDR width (file-png.c)
    (CVE-2026-42169)

    * gimp: gimp: Heap buffer overflow in read_channel_data() (CVE-2026-58379)

    * gimp: gimp: Stack buffer overflow in pnmscanner_gettoken() (CVE-2026-58380)

    * gimp: GIMP: Arbitrary code execution in PSD plugin due to unsigned underflow (CVE-2026-59090)

    * gimp: gimp: Integer overflow in read_RLE_channel() (CVE-2026-58384)

    * gimp: integer overflow in file-fits plugin causes a heap-based buffer overflow on crafted FITS images
    (CVE-2026-66758)

    * gimp: GIMP: Arbitrary code execution via crafted TIF file parsing (CVE-2026-18304)

    * gimp: GIMP: Remote code execution via PSD file parsing integer overflow (CVE-2026-18301)

    * gimp: GIMP: Remote code execution via TIF file parsing heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-2026-18302)

    * gimp: GIMP: Remote Code Execution via TIF file parsing integer overflow (CVE-2026-18305)

    * gimp: GIMP: Remote code execution via TIF file parsing vulnerability (CVE-2026-18303)

    * gimp: GIMP: Remote Code Execution via SGI File Parsing Integer Overflow (CVE-2026-18306)

    * gimp: GIMP: Remote code execution via TIF file parsing heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-2026-18307)
