CyberRota Analysis

AI-Generated

The old-style Radiance RLE decoder in libvips versions prior to 8.18.3 is vulnerable to a memory disclosure issue, allowing crafted Radiance images to expose four bytes of adjacent heap data during processing. This could potentially leak sensitive information from other images or data in memory. Organizations using affected versions of libvips for image processing should prioritize upgrading to version 8.18.3 to mitigate this risk.

Original NVD Description

libvips is a fast image processing library with low memory needs. Prior to version 8.18.3, the old-style Radiance RLE decoder in libvips/foreign/radiance.c can process a repeat marker at the beginning of a scanline in scanline_read_old and read q[-1] before any prior pixel exists. A crafted Radiance image loaded through VipsForeignLoadRad can therefore disclose four bytes of adjacent heap data, most likely other image data. This issue is fixed in version 8.18.3.
