CVE-2026-40493

Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.

Description

SAIL is a cross-platform library for loading and saving images with support for animation, metadata, and ICC profiles. Prior to commit c930284445ea3ff94451ccd7a57c999eca3bc979, the PSD codec computes bytes-per-pixel (`bpp`) from raw header fields `channels * depth`, but the pixel buffer is allocated based on the resolved pixel format. For LAB mode with `channels=3, depth=16`, `bpp = (3*16+7)/8 = 6`, but the format `BPP40_CIE_LAB` allocates only 5 bytes per pixel. Every pixel write overshoots, causing a deterministic heap buffer overflow on every row. Commit c930284445ea3ff94451ccd7a57c999eca3bc979 contains a patch.

Antes del commit c930284445ea3ff94451ccd7a57c999eca3bc979, el códec PSD calcula los bytes por píxel (’bpp’) a partir de los campos de encabezado sin procesar ’channels * depth’, pero el búfer de píxeles se asigna basándose en el formato de píxel resuelto. Para el modo LAB con ’channels=3, depth=16’, ’bpp = (316+7)/8 = 6’, pero el formato ’BPP40_CIE_LAB’ asigna solo 5 bytes por píxel. Cada escritura de píxel se excede, causando un desbordamiento de búfer de pila determinista en cada fila. El commit c930284445ea3ff94451ccd7a57c999eca3bc979 contiene un parche."
