CVE-2026-82324

A flaw was found in the file-iff (IFF/ILBM) plugin in GIMP. When processing a specially crafted IFF/ILBM image file, the plugin does not properly validate the HAM row size and improperly handles cases where the number of color planes (nPlanes) is zero. This causes a row size mismatch that bypasses memory bounds checking, resulting in heap out-of-bounds reads. This issue can result in an application crash, leading to a denial of service or a limited information disclosure of heap memory contents.

To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker needs to convince a user to process a specially crafted IFF/ILBM image with GIMP, reducing the likelihood of exploitation. Due to this reason, this flaw has been rated with a moderate severity.

The CVSS score(s) listed for this vulnerability do not reflect the associated product's status, and are included for informational purposes to better understand the severity of this vulnerability.

To mitigate this vulnerability, do not open IFF/ILBM files from untrusted sources with GIMP.
