DescriptionCVE.org

A flaw was found in GIMP. Processing a specially crafted PVR image file with large dimensions can lead to a denial of service (DoS). This occurs due to a stack-based buffer overflow and an out-of-bounds read in the PVR image loader, causing the application to crash. Systems that process untrusted PVR image files are affected.

AnalysisAI

Denial of service in GIMP's PVR image loader on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 through 9 allows an attacker to crash the application by tricking a user into opening a specially crafted PVR file. The flaw arises from a stack-based buffer overflow and out-of-bounds read, causing the application to terminate unexpectedly. It is not known to be actively exploited; proof-of-concept code has not been publicly identified.
