"The AlmaLinux 9.2 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TuxCare
ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2026:1785922090 advisory.

  - A flaw was found in GIMP's PSP (Paint Shop Pro) file parser. A remote attacker could exploit an integer
    overflow vulnerability in the read_creator_block() function by providing a specially crafted PSP image
    file. This vulnerability occurs when a 32-bit length value from the file is used for memory allocation
    without proper validation, leading to a heap overflow and an out-of-bounds write. Successful exploitation
    could result in an application level denial of service. (CVE-2026-2271)

  - A flaw was found in the file-fits plugin in GIMP. When processing a FITS image file, the plugin calculates
    memory allocation sizes using signed 32-bit integers for width and height. If a crafted file sets both
    values to large values, their product exceeds 2^31 and overflows, resulting in an undersized heap-based
    buffer allocation. This integer overflow issue results in a heap-based buffer overflow when cfitsio
    subsequently writes a full row of pixels in the buffer, causing memory corruption, potentially leading to
    arbitrary code execution or a denial of service. (CVE-2026-66758)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
