CVE-2025-14422
Description
A flaw was found in GIMP. A remote attacker could exploit an integer overflow vulnerability during the parsing of a malicious PNM (Portable Anymap) image file. This issue stems from insufficient validation of user-supplied data, which can lead to an integer overflow before memory allocation. Successful exploitation requires user interaction, such as opening a specially crafted file, and could result in arbitrary code execution within the context of the current process.
Statement
This vulnerability is rated Important for Red Hat products as it allows remote code execution in GIMP through an integer overflow when parsing a malicious PNM image file. Exploitation requires user interaction, specifically opening a specially crafted PNM file.
Mitigation
Mitigation for this issue is either not available or the currently available options do not meet the Red Hat Product Security criteria comprising ease of use and deployment, applicability to widespread installation base, or stability. Users should exercise caution when opening untrusted PNM image files.
Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details
Info alert:Important note
CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).
