Memory disclosure via unchecked GIF prefix index
Published Jan 27, 2026 · Updated Jan 27, 2026
Out-of-bounds read in Lua Player Plus Vita before r6 allows context-dependent attackers to read memory or crash the runtime through a crafted GIF. The read_image_data() function in source/include/gifdec.c uses an LZW table entry prefix as an array index without confirming that it is smaller than table->nentries. Exploitation requires user interaction to process a malformed GIF; the invalid lookup exposes runtime memory or terminates the interpreter.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
