CVE-2026-58381
MediumCVSS 6.1Exploitation Probability (EPSS)
Low risk2th percentile - higher than 2% of all known CVEs
Summary
A double-free vulnerability was found in GIMP's PSP file format parser in the read_layer_block() function. This flaw can lead to memory corruption, potentially resulting in denial of service or arbitrary code execution.
Risk Assessment
An attacker could exploit this by providing a specially crafted PSP file, causing the application to crash or execute arbitrary code when opened by the victim.
Recommendation
Update GIMP to the latest patched version immediately. Until then, avoid opening PSP files from untrusted sources.

- CVE-2016-4994High
A use-after-free vulnerability in the xcf_load_image function in xcf-load.c in GIMP allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (program crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted XCF file.
- CVE-2026-82343Medium
The file-psd plugin in GIMP contains a flaw where the channel-count parameter is not properly validated when processing specially crafted PSD files. This leads to improper memory bounds checking, resulting in a heap out-of-bounds read and a stack out-of-bounds access. This can cause an application crash, leading to denial of service or limited information disclosure of memory contents.
- CVE-2026-82330Medium
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.
- CVE-2026-82328Medium
A flaw was found in the file-ico plugin in GIMP. When processing a specially crafted ICO image file, the plugin does not properly validate the used_clrs (palette count) parameter. This incorrect validation leads to improper memory bounds checking, resulting 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.
- CVE-2026-82324Medium
A flaw was found in the file-iff (IFF/ILBM) plugin in GIMP. When processing a specially crafted IFF/ILBM image file, the plugin does not properly validate the HAM row size and improperly handles cases where the number of color planes (nPlanes) is zero. This causes a row size mismatch that bypasses memory bounds checking, resulting in heap out-of-bounds reads. This issue can result in an application crash, leading to a denial of service or a limited information disclosure of heap memory contents.
Original NVD description (English source)
A flaw was found in GIMP's PSP file format parser. A double-free condition occurs in the read_layer_block() function when processing a specially crafted PSP file. This could allow an attacker to cause memory corruption, potentially leading to denial of service or arbitrary code execution.
