Hi,

The following vulnerability was published for gimp.

CVE-2026-78475[0]:
| A flaw was found in the file-pix (ESM) plugin in GIMP. When
| processing a specially crafted PIX image file, the plugin allocates
| a Variable-Length Array (VLA) on the stack without proper bounds
| checking, causing an unbounded stack allocation followed by a
| 21-byte stack over-read. This can result in a denial of service due
| to stack exhaustion and a limited information disclosure of stack
| memory contents into an intermediate file.


If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the
CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id in your changelog entry.
