Description Thibault Guittet 2026-08-13 12:26:19 UTC
Disclaimer: Community trackers are created by Red Hat Product Security team on a best effort basis. Package maintainers are required to ascertain if the flaw indeed affects their package, before starting the update process.

Decoding a paletted BMP file with an out-of-range palette index results in a panic when accessing pixels in the invalid image.

Comment 1 Thibault Guittet 2026-08-13 15:37:14 UTC
Not applicable: aerc does not use the affected version.
