How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:11 gimp to version 2.8.2-2 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream gimp package and not the gimp package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:11 relevant fixed versions and status.

Multiple stack-based buffer overflows in file-xwd.c in the X Window Dump (XWD) plug-in in GIMP 2.8.2 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a large (1) red, (2) green, or (3) blue color mask in an XWD file.
