Stack-based buffer overflow in Gimp - CVE-2025-10925

Vulnerability identifier: #VU116091

CSH Severity: High

CVSS v4: 8.4 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]

CVE-ID: CVE-2025-10925

CWE-ID: CWE-121

Exploitation vector: Remote access

Exploit availability: No public exploit available

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when parsing ILBM files within the load_image() function in plug-ins/common/file-iff.c. A remote attacker can trick the victim into opening a specially crafted file, trigger a stack-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
