How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:unstable gimp to version 2.8.0-1 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:unstable relevant fixed versions and status.

Buffer overflow in the readstr_upto function in plug-ins/script-fu/tinyscheme/scheme.c in GIMP 2.6.12 and earlier, and possibly 2.6.13, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long string in a command to the script-fu server.
