CVE-2026-104065 Details
Description
Scribus before 1.6.7 and 1.7.x before 1.7.4 contains an out-of-bounds write vulnerability in the importdrw Micrografx Draw plugin that uses an unvalidated y offset to select image scanlines. Attackers can craft a DRW file that, when imported by a user, writes decoded bitmap data outside the heap image buffer, causing crashes or code execution.
A heap out-of-bounds write vulnerability has been identified in Scribus versions prior to 1.6.7. The issue resides in the Micrografx Draw import plugin, where an unvalidated vertical offset allows attackers to craft DRW files that, when imported, overwrite memory outside the allocated image buffer. This vulnerability can lead to application crashes or potentially allow for arbitrary code execution.
Users are advised to upgrade to Scribus version 1.6.7 or later. The update is available on SourceForge and through the Scribus website. Instructions for downloading the Windows, macOS, and Linux versions are provided on the Scribus wiki.
