Multiple vulnerabilities have been identified in GIMP, which could be exploited by attackers to execute arbitrary code. These issues are caused by integer overflow errors in the "dicom.c", "pnm.c", "sunras.c", "xbm.c" and "xwd.c" files when processing malformed data, which could be exploited by attackers to compromise an affected system by convincing a user to open a specially crafted DICOM, PNM, PSD, PSP, SRAS, XBM or XWD file.
