The allocation fails and Imager's allocator calls exit(3).\n\nReading an attacker-supplied file through Imager->read() triggers an uncatchable exit.","published":"2026-09-18T14:19:04.000Z","lastModified":"2026-09-18T18:18:18.000Z","status":"Deferred","sourceIdentifier":"9b29abf9-4ab0-4765-b253-1875cd9b441e","cvss":{"version":"3.1","score":9.1,"severity":"CRITICAL","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:H"},"cwe":["CWE-196","CWE-789"],"affected":[],"epss":{"score":0.00606,"percentile":0.47632,"date":"2026-09-19","history":[]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"high","text":"High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.61%).
