As far as I can tell from a quick look through a translation there are two file types involved Amiga Interchange format and HDR images. Not going to affect many Gimp users. This sort of scare has happened before, be careful what you download.
Quote:We installed Gimp with the systempackage that come along with Linux Mint Cinnamon 22.2
Unless you got Gimp from a PPA , the Gimp in the repo is 2.10.36 not Gimp 3.2
Quote:As this is a severe security flaw, do you think that the maintenance team of Linux Mint will update the systempackages to the patched version or would we have to upgrade to a higher Mint version in order to achieve this?
No Mint packagers here
EDIT: I am not just brushing your concerns off. The Gimp developers do investigate and fix
As an example: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/-/issues/15617 and this is the place to report concerns.
