The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a NULL pointer dereference error in MSL parser within "comment" tag before image load. A remote user can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


2) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-25795)

CWE-ID: CWE-476 - NULL Pointer Dereference

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a NULL pointer dereference error in the "ReadSFWImage()" function. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


3) Memory leak (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-25796)

CWE-ID: CWE-401 - Missing release of memory after effective lifetime

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform DoS attack on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due memory leak in the "ReadSTEGANOImage()" function on multiple error/early-return paths. A remote attacker can force the application to leak memory and perform denial of service attack.


4) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-25798)

CWE-ID: CWE-476 - NULL Pointer Dereference

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a NULL pointer dereference error in ClonePixelCacheRepository. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


5) Division by zero (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-25799)

CWE-ID: CWE-369 - Divide By Zero

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to the divide-by-zero issue in YUV sampling factor validation. A remote attacker can cause a denial of service condition on the target system.


6) Integer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-25970)

CWE-ID: CWE-190 - Integer overflow

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to integer overflow in SIXEL decoder. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application, trigger integer overflow and cause a denial of service condition on the target system.


7) Memory leak (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-25988)

CWE-ID: CWE-401 - Missing release of memory after effective lifetime

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform DoS attack on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due memory leak in msl.c. A remote attacker can force the application to leak memory and perform denial of service attack.


8) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-26066)

CWE-ID: CWE-400 - Resource exhaustion

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear


The vulnerability allows a local attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to application does not properly control consumption of internal resources when writing IPTCTEXT. A local attacker can trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


9) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-30883)

CWE-ID: CWE-122 - Heap-based Buffer Overflow

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:L/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when writing extremely large image profile in the PNG encoder. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application, trigger a heap-based buffer overflow and cause a denial of service condition on the target system.


10) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-32636)

CWE-ID: CWE-122 - Heap-based Buffer Overflow

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green
