A flaw was found in the Seattle FilmWorks plugin in GIMP. When processing a specially crafted SFW image file, the plugin allocates a Variable-Length Array (VLA) on the stack without integer overflow checks, causing an unbounded stack allocation. This issue leads to an application crash, resulting in a denial of service.
AnalysisAI
Stack-based denial of service in GIMP's Seattle FilmWorks (SFW) image plugin crashes the application when a crafted SFW file triggers an unbounded variable-length array allocation on the stack. The flaw affects all GIMP versions per the GNOME CPE string and is confirmed across Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 through 9. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires that the target user actively open a specially crafted SFW image file in GIMP - user interaction is mandatory per the CVSS UI:R metric. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | Real-world risk is moderate-to-low. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker crafts a malicious SFW image file with a header value engineered to cause integer overflow during VLA size calculation in the GIMP Seattle FilmWorks plugin. The file is delivered to a target user via email attachment, file share, or a download link. … |
| Remediation | No vendor-released patch with a confirmed fixed version has been identified at time of analysis. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
