  - A flaw was found in GIMP. The XCF loader processes image-simulation-intent and image-simulation-bpc
    parasites without ensuring the parasite data is present before dereferencing it. Opening a specially
    crafted XCF file with a zero-size simulation parasite can cause a NULL pointer dereference and crash the
    GIMP application. (CVE-2026-108093)
