CyberRota Analysis
AI-Generatedlibvips 8.19.0 is vulnerable to a memory access issue when handling little-endian PFM images, specifically when the PFM text header length is not a multiple of four bytes. This misalignment can lead to undefined behavior and potential process termination on strict-alignment architectures, resulting in denial of service. Organizations using libvips for image processing should prioritize addressing this vulnerability to mitigate service disruptions.

Original NVD Description
libvips 8.19.0 contains a memory access vulnerability when processing little-endian PFM images. If the PFM text header length is not a multiple of four bytes, the mmap-based loader can expose pixel data at an address that is not properly aligned for float access. vips_avg_scan() subsequently dereferences the buffer through a float pointer, resulting in undefined behavior and process termination on strict-alignment architectures or UBSan-instrumented builds, leading to denial of service.
