CVE-2026-13705

Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.

Description

Imager versions before 1.032 for Perl have a heap out-of-bounds read in the bundled Imager::File::SGI reader via a 16-bit RLE literal run in read_rgb_16_rle. read_rgb_16_rle guards each literal run with if (count > data_left), but count is a pixel count while every 16-bit sample consumes two bytes. The copy loop reads inp[0] * 256 + inp[1] and advances two bytes per pixel, so a run with data_left / 2 < count <= data_left passes the guard yet consumes 2 * count bytes and reads past the end of the buffer. The 8-bit path is unaffected because there one pixel is one byte. Reading a crafted SGI image through Imager->read triggers the over-read before the parser rejects the malformed image, which can crash the process.

El bucle de copia lee inp[0] * 256 + inp[1] y avanza dos bytes por píxel, por lo que una secuencia con data_left / 2 < count <= data_left pasa la protección pero consume 2 * count bytes y lee más allá del final del búfer. La ruta de 8 bits no se ve afectada porque allí un píxel es un byte.\n\nLa lectura de una imagen SGI manipulada a través de Imager  ->  read desencadena la sobrerelectura antes de que el analizador rechace la imagen malformada, lo que puede bloquear el proceso."
