Advisory Released Date: 2026-04-13
Advisory Updated Date: 2026-04-13
Severity:
Important
Issue Overview:
A flaw was found in the gdk-pixbuf library. This heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability occurs in the JPEG image loader due to improper validation of color component counts when processing a specially crafted JPEG image. A remote attacker can exploit this flaw without user interaction, for example, via thumbnail generation. Successful exploitation leads to application crashes and denial of service (DoS) conditions. (CVE-2026-5201)
