Short explanation

CVE-2026-118752 in FreeImage causes a heap buffer overflow due to missing bounds checks within the IFF/LBM PBM RLE decoder.

Attackers can supply a crafted IFF/LBM PBM file to write data past the heap-allocated memory, introducing confidentiality and integrity risks.

What should be done?

  • Update FreeImage to version 3.19.22 or later
  • Follow the vendor advisory
