GIMP TIF File Parsing Heap-based Buffer 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 TIF files. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a heap-based buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process. Was ZDI-CAN-29398.
AnalysisAI
Heap-based buffer overflow in GIMP's TIF file parser (CWE-122) enables remote code execution on affected installations when a user opens a crafted TIFF image. Confirmed affected version is GIMP 3.2.2 per EUVD-2026-63451, with the flaw originating from missing length validation before copying attacker-controlled data to a heap buffer. …
