Application crash via malformed TGA image parsing
Published Feb 9, 2024 · Updated May 15, 2025
Heap buffer overflow in Enlightenment Imlib2 1.9.1 allows attackers to crash applications that process a crafted image through the library. The imlib_load_image_with_error_return path dispatches malformed input to the TGA loader, where faulty bounds handling reads beyond a heap buffer. Exploitation requires a consuming application to process attacker-controlled image data; the public reproducer demonstrates an AddressSanitizer-detected read and abort, not code execution.
