Description

This security bulletin contains information about 4 vulnerabilities.


1) Infinite loop (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-34334)

CWE-ID: CWE-835 - Loop with Unreachable Exit Condition ('Infinite Loop')

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 infinite loop when processing metadata of image files. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted image to the application, consume all available system resources and cause denial of service conditions.


2) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-25884)

CWE-ID: CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read

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


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to crash the application.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition in the CRW image parser. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted file, trick the victim into opening it, trigger an out-of-bounds read error and perform a denial of service attack.


3) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-27596)

CWE-ID: CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read

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


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to crash the application.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition within the LoaderNative::getData() function in the preview component. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted file, trick the victim into opening it, trigger an out-of-bounds read error and read contents of memory on the system.


4) Integer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-27631)

CWE-ID: CWE-190 - Integer overflow

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


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

The vulnerability exists due to integer overflow in the preview component. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application, trigger an integer overflow and perform a denial of service attack.
