Linux Debian vulnerability analysis and mitigation

CVE-2025-10924 is a vulnerability discovered in GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program) affecting the FF file parsing functionality. The vulnerability was disclosed on September 24th, 2025, and affects GIMP installations that process FF files (ZDI Advisory).

The vulnerability stems from an integer overflow condition during FF file parsing. The specific flaw exists due to the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in an integer overflow before allocating a buffer. The vulnerability has been assigned a CVSS v3.x score of 7.8 (High) with the vector string AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H (ZDI Advisory).

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of GIMP. Successful exploitation requires user interaction, specifically the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process (ZDI Advisory).

GIMP has issued an update to correct this vulnerability. For the Debian stable distribution (trixie), these problems have been fixed in version 3.0.4-3+deb13u1. Users are recommended to upgrade their GIMP packages to the latest version (Debian Security Advisory).
