Description
This security bulletin contains information about 4 vulnerabilities.
1) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-30936)
CWE-ID: CWE-122 - Heap-based Buffer Overflow
CVSSv4: 6.9 [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]
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in the WaveletDenoiseImage method. 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.
2) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-30937)
CWE-ID: CWE-122 - Heap-based Buffer Overflow
CVSSv4: 8.8 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:L/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in XWD 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.
3) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-31853)
CWE-ID: CWE-122 - Heap-based Buffer Overflow
CVSSv4: 8.3 [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]
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error on 32-bit systems in SFW decoder. 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.
4) Stack-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-32259)
CWE-ID: CWE-121 - Stack-based buffer overflow
CVSSv4: 8.3 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in sixel encoder. A remote unauthenticated attacker can trigger stack-based buffer overflow and corrupt the stack on the target system.
