CVE-2026-59088: Integer Overflow or Wraparound in Red Hat Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6
A flaw was found in GIMP. A signed integer overflow vulnerability exists in the `file-fli` plugin when processing FLI image files. This occurs due to an incorrect calculation during memory allocation for image buffers, where the multiplication of image width and height can exceed the maximum integer value. A remote attacker could exploit this by tricking a user into opening a specially crafted FLI file, leading to the application crashing and resulting in a denial of service.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability involves a signed integer overflow in the GIMP file-fli plugin on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6. The overflow occurs during memory allocation for image buffers when processing FLI image files, due to the multiplication of image dimensions exceeding the integer limit. A remote attacker can exploit this by convincing a user to open a maliciously crafted FLI file, leading to application crash and denial of service. The vulnerability requires user interaction and local access. The CVSS 3.1 score is 5.5 (medium severity) with an attack vector of local, low complexity, no privileges required, user interaction required, and an impact limited to availability (denial of service). No official patch or fix status is confirmed in the vendor advisory. Mitigation involves avoiding opening FLI files from untrusted sources.
Potential Impact
The vulnerability can cause the GIMP application to crash due to an integer overflow during memory allocation, resulting in a denial of service. There is no impact on confidentiality or integrity. Exploitation requires user interaction and local access, limiting the attack scope. No known exploits are reported in the wild.
Mitigation Recommendations
No official fix or patch is currently confirmed. Users should mitigate this vulnerability by avoiding opening FLI image files from untrusted or unknown sources. Exercising caution with the origin of FLI files can prevent the denial of service. Monitor the Red Hat advisory for updates regarding patches or official fixes.
