vips: libvips is a fast image processing library with low memory needs
CVE-2026-70653 is fixed in 6 products on 1 platform, first by gir1.2-vips-8.0 8.4.5-1ubuntu0.1~esm2, released August 20, 2026. It is not reported as exploited. Patch Radar priority: Routine.
libvips is a fast image processing library with low memory needs. Prior to version 8.18.3, the old-style Radiance RLE decoder in libvips/foreign/radiance.c can process a repeat marker at the beginning of a scanline in scanline_read_old and read q[-1] before any prior pixel exists. A crafted Radiance image loaded through VipsForeignLoadRad can therefore disclose four bytes of adjacent heap data, most likely other image data. This issue is fixed in version 8.18.3.
