GIMP XPM File Parsing Integer Overflow Remote Code Execution Vulnerability

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 31/100)

  • The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.57% (FIRST EPSS).
  • Someone with local access to the system can trigger it. No account or password is required. A user must open a link or visit a page. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • Fixed version: gimp (AlmaLinux:8) 2:2.8.22-26.module_el8.10.0+4175+c208a0bf.6; gimp-devel (AlmaLinux:8) 2:2.8.22-26.module_el8.10.0+4175+c208a0bf.6; gimp-devel-tools (AlmaLinux:8) 2:2.8.22-26.module_el8.10.0+4175+c208a0bf.6.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to gimp (AlmaLinux:8) 2:2.8.22-26.module_el8.10.0+4175+c208a0bf.6; gimp-devel (AlmaLinux:8) 2:2.8.22-26.module_el8.10.0+4175+c208a0bf.6; gimp-devel-tools (AlmaLinux:8) 2:2.8.22-26.module_el8.10.0+4175+c208a0bf.6 or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

GIMP XPM 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 XPM files. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in an integer overflow before allocating a buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process. Was ZDI-CAN-28901.
