patch available.

  - A flaw was found in the GIMP image manipulation program, specifically within its Seattle Filmworks file
    loader. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by tricking a user into opening a specially
    crafted Seattle Filmworks file. This could lead to a heap overflow, allowing the attacker to write several
    kilobytes of controlled data beyond the intended memory buffer. Such an overflow can result in memory
    corruption, potentially leading to arbitrary code execution or a denial of service. (CVE-2026-59087)

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