Hi,

The following vulnerability was published for gimp.

CVE-2026-97185[0]:
| A flaw was found in GIMP. When processing a specially crafted
| GIMPressionist preset file, the plug-in does not properly validate
| vector indices before writing into fixed-size arrays. This can lead
| to an out-of-bounds write, corrupting memory. An attacker could
| exploit this by convincing a user to load a malicious preset file,
| potentially causing a crash or enabling arbitrary code execution.


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