Description

An issue was discovered in stb stb_image.h 2.27. The PNM loader incorrectly interpreted 16-bit PGM files as 8-bit when converting to RGBA, leading to a buffer overflow when later reinterpreting the result as a 16-bit buffer. An attacker could potentially have crashed a service using stb_image, or read up to 1024 bytes of non-consecutive heap data without control over the read location.

Solution(s)

  • suse-upgrade-libzxing1
  • suse-upgrade-stb-devel
  • suse-upgrade-zxing-cpp-devel
