GIMP PSP File Parsing Integer Overflow Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of GIMP. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file. The specific flaw exists within the parsing of PSP files. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in an integer overflow before writing to memory. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process. . Was ZDI-CAN-22096.

  - GIMP DDS File Parsing Heap-based Buffer Overflow Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This vulnerability     allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of GIMP. User interaction is     required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious     file. The specific flaw exists within the parsing of DDS files. The issue results from the lack of proper     validation of the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a heap-based buffer. An attacker can     leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process. Was ZDI-CAN-22093.

The remote Debian 11 / 12 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dsa-5564 advisory.

    Michael Randrianantenaina reported several vulnerabilities in GIMP, the GNU Image Manipulation Program,     which could result in denial of service (application crash) or potentially the execution of arbitrary code     if malformed DDS, PSD and PSP files are opened. For the oldstable distribution (bullseye), these problems     have been fixed in version 2.10.22-4+deb11u1. For the stable distribution (bookworm), these problems have     been fixed in version 2.10.34-1+deb12u1. We recommend that you upgrade your gimp packages. For the     detailed security status of gimp please refer to its security tracker page at: https://security-     tracker.debian.org/tracker/gimp
