Just from my point of view as a linux user.
Guessing that you are on some sort of local network rather than an individual installation.
Using: quote - Linux Mint Cinnamon 22.2
That is downsteam from Debian -> Ubuntu 24.04 -> Mint 22
So you are never going to get Gimp 3.2 from Mint repo until maybe Mint 23 (or 24 based on Debian 13 -> ubuntu 26.04) comes along.
I have a Mint 22.3 using Gimp 3.2 from the PPA that works very well, but it is not going to be updated to include every daily patch for these CVE reports.
As CmykStudent states it is "in theory" I have seen these reports from way back. If you are truly worried, stick to file types known to be safe.
As far as I know, Mint is not going to patch any of the file plugins. For truly up-to-date you need something like a daily version, either compile yourself or a dev "nightly" flatpak or a dev appimage They all have their limitations.
