NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream eog package and not the eog package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:14 relevant fixed versions and status.

A flaw was found in Eye of GNOME. When parsing a specially crafted PNG image containing malformed color profile metadata, the application fails to validate chunk boundaries while searching for a null terminator. An attacker could trick a user into opening a malicious image, causing the application to read past the allocated buffer. This issue can lead to an application crash, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS), or potentially expose sensitive memory contents.
