CVE-2026-2913 Details
Description
A vulnerability was determined in libvips up to 8.19.0. The affected element is the function vips_source_read_to_memory of the file libvips/iofuncs/source.c. This manipulation causes heap-based buffer overflow. It is possible to launch the attack on the local host. The attack's complexity is rated as high. The exploitability is described as difficult. The exploit has been publicly disclosed and may be utilized. Patch name: a56feecbe9ed66521d9647ec9fbcd2546eccd7ee. Applying a patch is the recommended action to fix this issue. The confirmation of the bugfix mentions: "[T]he impact of this is negligible, since this only affects custom seekable sources larger than 4 GiB (and the crash occurs in user code rather than libvips itself)."
A heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability has been identified in libvips versions through 8.19.0. The issue arises in the vips_source_read_to_memory function within the file libvips/iofuncs/source.c. This vulnerability is triggered by an integer truncation error, where a 64-bit length value is improperly handled, leading to memory corruption. The vulnerability requires local access to exploit and has been publicly disclosed along with a proof-of-concept exploit.
Users are advised to update to libvips version 8.19.1 or later, where this vulnerability has been patched.
