Medium [CVE-2026-16768] out-of-bounds read in ico parser
CVE-2026-16768Source published Source updated
A flaw was found in gdk-pixbuf. When parsing a specially crafted ICO file with pixel values that exceed the defined palette range, an out-of-bounds read can occur due to improper bounds checking against the actual palette size. This vulnerability causes heap bytes to be interpreted as valid palette indices and rendered as RGB pixel values in the output image, allowing an attacker to extract heap content via the generated output, such as a thumbnail. The only security impact of this issue is an information leak of memory contents via the generated output, such as a thumbnail. Also, the attacker does not have full control of the information obtained, further limiting its impact. Due to these reasons, this vulnerability has been rated with a moderate severity.
