Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-10-08 14:28:08 UTC 
A heap buffer overflow vulnerability was found in Eye of GNOME (eog) in the PNG metadata reader component (eog-metadata-reader-png). The flaw exists in the handling of cHRM and gAMA chunk resume state during PNG file parsing. An attacker could exploit this by crafting a malicious PNG file that, when opened by a victim, triggers the overflow, potentially leading to arbitrary code execution or a denial of service.
