CVE-2026-40915

A flaw was found in GIMP. A remote attacker could exploit an integer overflow vulnerability in the FITS image loader by providing a specially crafted FITS file. This integer overflow leads to a zero-byte memory allocation, which is then subjected to a heap buffer overflow when processing pixel data. Successful exploitation could result in a denial of service (DoS) or potentially arbitrary code execution.

Summary		(es) Se encontró una falla en GIMP. Un atacante remoto podría explotar una vulnerabilidad de desbordamiento de entero en el cargador de imágenes FITS al proporcionar un archivo FITS especialmente diseñado. Este desbordamiento de entero conduce a una asignación de memoria de cero bytes, que luego es sometida a un desbordamiento de búfer de pila al procesar datos de píxeles. La explotación exitosa podría resultar en una denegación de servicio (DoS) o potencialmente ejecución de código arbitrario.
