CVE-2026-108093
Gimp: gimp: denial of service via null pointer dereference in xcf simulation parasite loading
A flaw was found in GIMP. The XCF loader processes image-simulation-intent and image-simulation-bpc parasites without ensuring the parasite data is present before dereferencing it. Opening a specially crafted XCF file with a zero-size simulation parasite can cause a NULL pointer dereference and crash the GIMP application.
Fixes and workarounds
Workaround
Do not open untrusted XCF files with GIMP.
