CVE-2026-6384
HighCVSS 7.3Exploitation Probability (EPSS)
Low risk18th percentile - higher than 18% of all known CVEs
Summary
A buffer overflow vulnerability was found in GIMP's `ReadJeffsImage` function when loading GIF files. Processing a specially crafted GIF file can cause a write beyond the allocated buffer.
Risk Assessment
An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service or potentially achieve arbitrary code execution on the victim's system.
Recommendation
Immediately update GIMP to the latest available version that includes the fix for CVE-2026-6384.

In GIMP 2.8.22, there is a heap-based buffer overflow in the fli_read_brun function in plug-ins/file-fli/fli.c.
- CVE-2017-17784High
In GIMP 2.8.22, there is a heap-based buffer over-read in load_image in plug-ins/common/file-gbr.c, related to mishandling of UTF-8 data.
- 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. This buffer overflow vulnerability in the GIF image loading component's `ReadJeffsImage` function allows an attacker to write beyond an allocated buffer by processing a specially crafted GIF file. This can lead to a denial of service or potentially arbitrary code execution.
