What is CVE-2026-82330?

A vulnerability in the file-pvr plugin for GIMP exposes the application to potential exploitation due to improper memory bounds checking when processing specially crafted PVR image files. This oversight can lead to heap out-of-bounds reads, resulting in application crashes and possible disclosure of sensitive heap memory contents. Users are advised to update to patched versions to protect against these risks.
