  - GIMP ICO File Parsing Heap-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 ICO files. The issue results from the lack of proper
    validation of the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a heap-based buffer. An attacker can
    leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process. Was ZDI-CAN-28599.
    (CVE-2026-0797)

  - GIMP PGM File Parsing Uninitialized Memory 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 PGM files. The issue results from the lack of proper
    initialization of memory prior to accessing it. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute
    code in the context of the current process. Was ZDI-CAN-28158. (CVE-2026-2044)

  - GIMP XWD File Parsing Out-Of-Bounds Write 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 XWD files. The issue results from the lack of proper validation
    of user-supplied data, which can result in a write past the end of an allocated buffer. An attacker can
    leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process. Was ZDI-CAN-28265.
