CVE-2025-14425
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
GIMP JP2 File Parsing Heap-based Buffer Overflow Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of GIMP. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file. The specific flaw exists within the parsing of JP2 files. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a heap-based buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process. Was ZDI-CAN-28248.

"value": "Vulnerabilidad de desbordamiento de búfer basado en montículo y ejecución remota de código en el análisis de archivos JP2 de GIMP. Esta vulnerabilidad permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar código arbitrario en instalaciones afectadas de GIMP. Se requiere interacción del usuario para explotar la vulnerabilidad, ya que el objetivo debe visitar una página maliciosa o abrir un archivo malicioso.\\n\\nEl defecto específico existe dentro del análisis de archivos JP2. El problema se produce por la falta de validación adecuada de la longitud de los datos suministrados por el usuario antes de copiarlos a un búfer basado en montículo. Un atacante puede aprovechar esta vulnerabilidad para ejecutar código en el contexto del proceso actual. Fue ZDI-CAN-28248."
