It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-42169 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Redhat Enterprise Linux. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-42169/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-42169/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-42169","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-42169/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-42169","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2026-42169","GHSA-xq2c-w9r3-rwr6","OESA-2026-3413","OESA-2026-3414","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-42169"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"GIMP image editor","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers can execute arbitrary code by tricking users into opening specially crafted APNG or DDS image files in GIMP.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"redhat","cpe":[{"product":"enterprise_linux","vendor":"redhat"},{"product":"enterprise_linux_eus","vendor":"redhat"}],"cvss":{"score":7.3,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-131","name":"Incorrect Calculation of Buffer Size"}],"description":"A heap-buffer-overflow vulnerability exists in the APNG (Animated PNG) file loader of GIMP.

Additionally, a heap-based buffer overflow exists in the DDS plug-in due to a BPP mismatch in the `load_layer()` function. Both vulnerabilities can be triggered by opening a specially crafted image file, potentially leading to code execution.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Gimp: gimp apng loader heap-buffer-overflow when fctl width exceeds ihdr width (file-png.c)","id":"CVE-2026-42169","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"redhat:enterprise_linux","products":["redhat:enterprise_linux","redhat:enterprise_linux_eus"],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":5,"next":{"headline":"Gimp: gimp dds plug-in heap-based buffer overflow via bpp mismatch in load_layer() (ddsread.c)","id":"CVE-2026-42170"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2026-42168"},"products":["Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6","Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7","Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8","Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9","Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.4 Update Services for SAP Solutions","Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.6 Extended Update Support"],"published":"2026-08-04","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Red Hat JBoss RichFaces Framework Expression Language Injection","id":"CVE-2018-14667","kev_date_added":"2023-09-28","published":"2018-11-06"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Missing fixes for CVE-2021-40438 and CVE-2021-26691 in the versions of httpd, as shipped in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.5.0, causes a securit","id":"CVE-2021-20325","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-02-18"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in libwebp","id":"CVE-2018-25011","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-05-21"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Other in libwebp","id":"CVE-2018-25014","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-05-21"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Supply chain in redhat-upgrade-tool","id":"CVE-2014-3585","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-11-22"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Squid: request/response smuggling in http/1.1 and icap","id":"CVE-2023-46846","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-11-03"},{"cvss_score":9.1,"headline":"Memory corruption in libwebp","id":"CVE-2018-25009","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-05-21"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-10-12","vendors":["Red Hat"]},"summary":"Attackers can execute arbitrary code by tricking users into opening specially crafted APNG or DDS image files in GIMP.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-42169/"}
