GIMP TIF File Parsing Integer 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 user-supplied data, which can result in an integer overflow before allocating a buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process. Was ZDI-CAN-29406.
AnalysisAI
Remote code execution in GIMP 3.2.2 is achievable by an attacker who can convince a target user to open a specially crafted TIF file, triggering an integer overflow during buffer allocation in the TIFF parser that leads to heap corruption and arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user process. Disclosed by the Zero Day Initiative under ZDI-26-458 (ZDI-CAN-29406), the flaw is rooted in missing validation of user-supplied size data before heap allocation. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | The sole exploitation prerequisite is that the target user opens a crafted TIF file in GIMP 3.2.2 - no authentication, special privileges, or non-default configuration is required. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The NVD CVSS 3.0 base score is 7.8 (High), with vector AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H. … 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 upstream fix is available as a GitLab commit at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/-/commit/0a45a2b51b877829ef523131b50c0eb2a933b8a1; however, a specific released patched version number is not confirmed from the available data, so users should monitor the official GIMP release page and upgrade to the next stable release that incorporates this commit as soon as it is published. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours: Issue a mandatory security advisory to all GIMP 3.2.2 users restricting TIFF file handling from untrusted sources and complete an inventory of affected systems. …
