Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-07-06 18:59:10 UTC 
Heap buffer overflow write in GIMP's Seattle FilmWorks (SFW94A) loader. In load_image() in file-seattle-filmworks.c, photo_date is allocated from metadata_len[1] without verifying that a second metadata separator exists. If metadata_len[1] remains 0, a 1-byte buffer is allocated and fread() writes the full metadata span into it.

- Function: load_image()
