The GIMP security update (ELA-1604-1) addresses multiple file parsing problems that could lead to crashes or arbitrary code execution when opening malicious files. The issues include CVE-2007-3126, which was previously fixed in Debian GNU/Linux 10 (Buster) ELTS and now included in Debian GNU/Linux 9 (Stretch) ELTS, and two other vulnerabilities: CVE-2025-14422, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code through PNM file parsing, and CVE-2025-14425, a JP2 file parsing heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability. These issues can be exploited by visiting malicious pages or opening malicious files, requiring user interaction. The update is available for both stretch (version 2.8.18-1+deb9u7) and buster (version 2.10.8-2+deb10u6).

Multiple file parsing problems where identified in GIMP, the
GNU Image Manipulation Program, that could lead to crashes or even
arbitrary code execution when opening malicious files.

CVE-2007-3126
This problem rated low severity was already fixed in buster, but the
fix was now also included in stretch version.
Gimp before 2.8.22 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of
service (crash) via an ICO file with an InfoHeader containing a Height of
zero, a similar issue to CVE-2007-2237.

CVE-2025-14422
GIMP PNM 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 PNM 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-28273.

CVE-2025-14425
This problem was introduced in 2.10 and thus does not affect stretch, only
buster.
GIMP JP2 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 JP2 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-28248.
