CVE-2026-104062 Details
Description
Scribus before 1.6.7 and 1.7.x before 1.7.4 contains a heap buffer overflow vulnerability in the PICT image loader and import plugin that allows attackers to corrupt heap memory by supplying an unchecked bytesPerLine value. Attackers can craft a PICT file whose bytesPerLine exceeds the QImage scanline size, so placing or importing it crashes Scribus and may execute code as the user.
A heap buffer overflow vulnerability has been identified in Scribus versions prior to 1.6.7, specifically within the PICT image loader and import plugin. This vulnerability allows attackers to corrupt heap memory by providing an unchecked bytesPerLine value. By crafting a PICT file with a bytesPerLine value that exceeds the QImage scanline size, attackers can cause Scribus to crash when the file is imported or placed, potentially leading to 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.
