NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream gdk-pixbuf package and not the gdk-pixbuf package as distributed by Echo. See How to fix? for Echo:latest relevant fixed versions and status.

A flaw was found in gdk-pixbuf. When loading a specially crafted JPEG image containing chunked ICC profile markers, an error during ICC profile parsing can leave stale size metadata after the profile buffer is freed. A subsequent allocation in the same decode can cause an out-of-bounds write, potentially crashing the application. To exploit this flaw, an application using gdk-pixbuf must process the malicious JPEG image.

Affected version >= 2.26.4
