Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
A flaw was found in the file-pvr plugin in GIMP. When processing a specially crafted PVR image file, the VQ (compressed) decoder does not properly perform memory bounds checking. This missing validation results in a heap out-of-bounds read. This issue can result in an application crash, leading to a denial of service or a limited information disclosure of heap memory contents.
AnalysisAI
Heap out-of-bounds read in GIMP's file-pvr plugin exposes users of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 through 9 to application crashes and limited heap memory disclosure when opening a crafted PVR image file. The VQ (Vector Quantization) compressed-texture decoder omits mandatory bounds validation, allowing a malicious image to read beyond allocated heap regions. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires that the victim user actively opens a specially crafted PVR image file in GIMP on an affected Red Hat Enterprise Linux system (versions 6 through 9). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:H) scores 6.1 (Medium), reflecting a local attack path requiring user interaction to open a malicious file - a classic file-format vulnerability profile. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | The primary remediation is to apply the updated GIMP packages issued by Red Hat via their advisory at https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2026-82330; users on RHEL 6, 7, 8, or 9 should update through yum/dnf as soon as packages are released. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
