UBUNTU-CVE-2025-59730 (CVE-2025-59730)

Vulnerability from osv_ubuntu – Published: 2025-10-06 08:15 – Updated: 2026-04-22 07:56 – Source website

Details

When decoding a frame for a SANM file (ANIM v0 variant), the decoded data can be larger than the buffer allocated for it. Frames encoded with codec 48 can specify their resolution (width x height). A buffer of appropriate size is allocated depending on the resolution. This codec can encode the frame contents using a run-length encoding algorithm. There are no checks that the decoded frame fits in the allocated buffer, leading to a heap-buffer-overflow. process_frame_obj initializes the buffers based on the frame resolution: We recommend upgrading to version 8.0 or beyond.
