Ubuntu Security Notice USN-8057-1
February 23, 2026

gimp vulnerabilities
==========================================================================

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

Summary:

Several security issues were fixed in GIMP.

Software Description:
- gimp: GNU Image Manipulation Program

Details:

Hanno Böck 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)
