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.

The vulnerability requires a user to open a specially crafted PNM image file with GIMP. As a desktop application, the impact is limited to the user's session and requires user interaction.
