✅ Remediation

For details on how to apply this update, which includes the changes described in this advisory, refer to: https://access.redhat.com/articles/11258 Workaround: To mitigate this vulnerability, users should avoid opening untrusted PSP (PaintShop Pro) files with GIMP. Restricting the sources of PSP files to only trusted origins can reduce the risk of exploitation. Workaround: To mitigate this issue, users should avoid opening XPM image files from untrusted sources. On systems where GIMP is not required, the `gimp` package can be removed. Removing desktop-related packages may impact graphical environment functionality. Workaround: Users should avoid opening untrusted PCX image files with GIMP. If GIMP is not required, consider removing the `gimp` package to eliminate this attack vector.
