Package : gdk-pixbuf
Version : 2.42.2+dfsg-1+deb11u5
CVE ID : CVE-2026-5201
Debian Bug : 1132501
It was discovered that gdk-pixbuf, the GDK Pixbuf library, does not
properly validate color component counts in the JPEG image loader, which
may result in the execution of arbitrary code or denial of service if
specially crafted JPEG images are processed.
For Debian 11 bullseye, this problem has been fixed in version
2.42.2+dfsg-1+deb11u5.
We recommend that you upgrade your gdk-pixbuf packages.
