CVE-2021-45463  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Ubuntu:25.04 gegl to version 1:0.4.34-1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream gegl package and not the gegl package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:25.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

load_cache in GEGL before 0.4.34 allows shell expansion when a pathname in a constructed command line is not escaped or filtered. This is caused by use of the system library function for execution of the ImageMagick convert fallback in magick-load. NOTE: GEGL releases before 0.4.34 are used in GIMP releases before 2.10.30; however, this does not imply that GIMP builds enable the vulnerable feature.
