CVE-2025-14423
GIMP LBM File Parsing Stack-based Buffer Overflow Remote Code Execution Vulnerability
In short
GIMP has a flaw in how it reads LBM image files. An attacker can craft a malicious LBM file that, when opened, causes GIMP to crash or run harmful code on your computer.
Technical detail
A stack-based buffer overflow exists in GIMP's LBM file parser due to insufficient validation of user-supplied data length before copying to a stack buffer. Remote attackers can exploit this by distributing a malicious LBM file; user interaction (opening the file) is required. Successful exploitation results in arbitrary code execution in the context of the GIMP process.
Summary generated and translated by AI from the official description.
GIMP LBM File Parsing Stack-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 LBM files. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a stack-based buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process. Was ZDI-CAN-28311.
