Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Validation of Specified Quantity in Input via the loadTGA function of KisTgaImport. An attacker can cause unintended program behavior by supplying a specially crafted TGA file that causes a negative pixel count, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow during image import.
Workaround
Avoid opening TGA files from unknown sources in Krita until the fix is applied.
