How to fix?

Upgrade Oracle:9 gimp to version 2:3.0.4-4.el9_8.14 or higher.
This issue was patched in ELSA-2026-75575.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream gimp package and not the gimp package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

A flaw was found in GIMP. When processing a specially crafted GIMPressionist preset file, the plug-in does not properly validate vector indices before writing into fixed-size arrays. This can lead to an out-of-bounds write, corrupting memory. An attacker could exploit this by convincing a user to load a malicious preset file, potentially causing a crash or enabling arbitrary code execution.
