CVE-2026-104061 Details
Description
Scribus before 1.6.7 and 1.7.x before 1.7.4 contains a heap out-of-bounds write vulnerability in the scimgdataloader_psd loader that uses unchecked PSD file values as lookup array indexes. Attackers can convince users to place or import a crafted PSD file to corrupt heap memory, causing crashes and potentially code execution as the user.
A heap out-of-bounds write vulnerability has been identified in Scribus versions prior to 1.6.7. The issue arises in the 'scimgdataloader_psd' loader, which improperly uses unchecked values from PSD files as indexes for lookup arrays. This vulnerability allows attackers to craft PSD files that, when imported or placed by users, can corrupt heap memory. The exploitation of this vulnerability may lead to crashes and potentially allow for code execution under the user's privileges.
Users are advised to upgrade to Scribus version 1.6.7 or later, where this vulnerability has been fixed. The update is available through the Scribus website, SourceForge, and various Linux distribution repositories.
