CVE-2026-78475Source published Source updated
A flaw was found in the file-pix (ESM) plugin in GIMP. When processing a specially crafted PIX image file, the plugin allocates a Variable-Length Array (VLA) on the stack without proper bounds checking, causing an unbounded stack allocation followed by a 21-byte stack over-read. This can result in a denial of service due to stack exhaustion and a limited information disclosure of stack memory contents into an intermediate file. To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker needs to convince a user to process a specially crafted PIX image with GIMP, reducing the likelihood of exploitation. Due to this reason, this flaw has been rated with a moderate severity. Red Hat severity: Moderate — CVSS 6.1 (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:H). Weakness: CWE-125.
