affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-8057-1 advisory.

    Hanno Bck discovered that GIMP allocated FLI images using only the information present in the file
    header, which allowed for a maliciously- crafted file to cause out-of-bounds writes. An attacker could
    possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code. This issue only affected
    Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. (CVE-2017-17785)

    Michael Randrianantenaina discovered that that opening a maliciously crafted FLI file could cause GIMP to
    index out-of-bounds. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial or service or execute
    arbitrary code. (CVE-2025-2761)

    It was discovered that opening a maliciously-crafted DCM file could cause GIMP to index out-of-bounds. An
    attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code.
    (CVE-2025-10922)

    It was discovered that GIMP's JP2 parser did not account for precision when allocating an image buffer. An
    attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code when a maliciously
    crafted file is opened. This issue only affected Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, and Ubuntu 24.04 LTS.
    (CVE-2025-14425)

    It was discovered that GIMP's PSP parser erroneously queried the color channels of a greyscale image,
    which resulted in an invalid memory pointer. An attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of
    service or execute arbitrary code when a maliciously-crafted file is opened. This issue only affected
    Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. (CVE-2025-15059)
