CVE-2025-6035: Integer Overflow or Wraparound
A flaw was found in GIMP. An integer overflow vulnerability exists in the GIMP "Despeckle" plug-in. The issue occurs due to unchecked multiplication of image dimensions, such as width, height, and bytes-per-pixel (img_bpp), which can result in allocating insufficient memory and subsequently performing out-of-bounds writes. This issue could lead to heap corruption, a potential denial of service (DoS), or arbitrary code execution in certain scenarios.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2025-6035 is an integer overflow vulnerability in the GIMP "Despeckle" plug-in on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6. The vulnerability occurs due to unchecked multiplication of image width, height, and bytes-per-pixel values, which can result in allocating less memory than needed. This leads to out-of-bounds writes on the heap, potentially causing heap corruption, denial of service, or arbitrary code execution. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 6.1, indicating medium severity. No known exploits in the wild have been reported. The vendor advisory from Red Hat is available but does not explicitly state patch or remediation status.
Potential Impact
The vulnerability can cause heap corruption through out-of-bounds writes, which may result in denial of service or arbitrary code execution under certain conditions. The impact affects confidentiality and integrity to a limited extent and availability to a high extent as per the CVSS vector.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the Red Hat advisory at https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2025-6035 for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, avoid processing untrusted images with the GIMP "Despeckle" plug-in or apply any recommended workarounds from Red Hat.
