Description

This security bulletin contains information about 4 vulnerabilities.


1) Uncontrolled recursion (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-68950)

CWE-ID: CWE-674 - Uncontrolled Recursion

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 uncontrolled recursion when handling MVG files. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted MVG file to the application and perform a denial of service attack. 


2) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-28688)

CWE-ID: CWE-416 - Use After Free

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


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to use-after-free in the MSL encoder when processing crafted MSL input. A remote attacker can trigger a double destruction of a cloned image to cause a denial of service.


3) Integer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-33900)

CWE-ID: CWE-190 - Integer overflow

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


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to integer overflow or wraparound in the viff encoder when processing crafted input on 32-bit builds. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted file to trigger an out-of-bounds heap write and cause a denial of service.

Only 32-bit builds are vulnerable.


4) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-33905)

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

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


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to out-of-bounds read in the -sample operation when processing a specific offset supplied through the sample:offset define. A remote attacker can supply a crafted offset value to cause a denial of service.

User interaction is required to process the crafted input.
