cimg: CImg Library is a C++ library for image processing
CVE-2026-42144 is fixed in 13 products on 1 platform, first by DEBIAN-CVE-2026-42144, released May 15, 2026. It is not reported as exploited. Patch Radar priority: Routine.
CImg Library is a C++ library for image processing. Prior to commit 4ca26bc, there is an integer overflow vulnerability in the W*H*D size computation inside _load_pnm() that can bypass the memory allocation guard. A crafted PNM/PGM/PPM file with large dimension values causes the overflow to wrap around, allocating an undersized buffer and potentially triggering a heap buffer overflow. Any application using CImg to load untrusted image files is affected. This issue has been patched via commit 4ca26bc.
