Application crash via mismatched XWD pixel fields
Published Mar 24, 2026 · Updated Mar 24, 2026
Heap-based buffer overflow in RapidVMS before PR #96 allows remote attackers to crash the application through a crafted XWD image. In 3rdparty/ffmpeg/libavcodec/xwddec.c, xwd_decode_frame selects a grayscale pixel format from pixdepth without requiring the bits-per-pixel value to match, enabling out-of-array access. Exploitation requires a user to process the crafted image; the documented bounded consequence is an application crash, while other impact remains unspecified.

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.
