Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-07-23 14:03:01 UTC
A flaw was found in gdk-pixbuf, affecting all versions. When parsing a specially crafted ICO file with pixel values that exceed the defined palette range, an out-of-bounds read can occur due to improper bounds checking against the actual palette size. This issue causes heap bytes to be interpreted as valid palette indices and rendered as RGB pixel values in the output image, allowing an attacker to extract heap contents via the generated output, such as a thumbnail.
