NVD description
A flaw was found in GIMP's PNM file format parser. When parsing a specially crafted PNM file, the pnmscanner_gettoken() function writes a null terminator one byte past the end of a stack-allocated buffer due to an off-by-one error in the loop boundary check. This could lead to memory corruption, potentially resulting in denial of service or arbitrary code execution.
🚨 HIGH Severity: CVE-2026-58380 in GIMP (CVSS 7.3)
Off-by-one flaw in PNM parser → memory corruption, potential code execution. Crafted PNM files can trigger buffer overflow.
Patch GIMP immediately.

Post summary
This tweet alerts that CVE-2026-58380, an off‑by‑one buffer overflow in GIMP’s PNM parser, poses a high‑severity risk (CVSS 7.3) and urges users to patch immediately. No PoC, exploit, or active exploitation evidence is provided.
🚨High - GIMP PNM Parser Off-by-One Stack Overflow (CVE-2026-58380)
An off-by-one error in GIMP's PNM image parser causes pnmscanner_gettoken() to write a null terminator one byte past the end of a stack buffer when reading a specially crafted PNM file. The out-of-bounds write corrupts adjacent stack memory, leading to a crash (DoS) or, depending on memory layout, potential arbitrary code execution in the context of the user who opened the file.
Exploitation is local and requires user interaction — the victim must open a malicious PNM file in GIMP — so the realistic vector is a booby-trapped image delivered via email, download, or file share (CVSS 7.3, Red Hat).
👉Fixed upstream in GNOME GIMP (commit 83699817); gimp on RHEL 7/8/9 listed as affected.
