What is CVE-2026-2239?

A vulnerability exists in GIMP that involves a heap buffer overflow in the fread_pascal_string function during the processing of specially crafted PSD files. This flaw stems from improper null-termination of the allocated buffer for Pascal strings. As a result, when the strlen() function is called, it can lead to an out-of-bounds read, which may cause the application to crash. This behavior presents a potential for Denial of Service attacks, impacting the usability of the application.
