patch available.

  - A heap-based buffer overflow was found in GIMP's DirectDraw Surface (DDS) loader. When loading a crafted
    DDS image, buffer sizes derived from width, height, and pitch can be computed using 32-bit arithmetic that
    overflows. The allocated buffer is too small for the amount of pixel data written through GEGL (CWE-787),
    following integer overflow in size calculations (CWE-190). This may allow heap corruption and, in the
    worst case, arbitrary code execution in the context of the GIMP process. (CVE-2026-106062)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.");
