CVE-2026-58381: Double Free in Red Hat Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6
A flaw was found in GIMP's PSP file format parser. A double-free condition occurs in the read_layer_block() function when processing a specially crafted PSP file. This could allow an attacker to cause memory corruption, potentially leading to denial of service or arbitrary code execution.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-58381 describes a double-free condition in the read_layer_block() function of GIMP's PSP file format parser on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6. Processing a maliciously crafted PSP file triggers this flaw, which can corrupt memory and potentially allow denial of service or arbitrary code execution. The vulnerability is locally exploitable with low complexity and requires user interaction. The vendor advisory does not currently specify any patch or remediation status.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation can cause memory corruption leading to denial of service or arbitrary code execution on affected systems running Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6. The CVSS vector indicates local attack vector with low complexity, requiring privileges and user interaction, with low confidentiality and integrity impact but high availability impact.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the Red Hat advisory at https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2026-58381 for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, avoid processing untrusted PSP files with GIMP on affected systems.
