CVE-2026-118752: FreeImage heap buffer overflow in PBM RLE decoder

CVE-2026-118752 · Severity: high · CVSS 7.8 · Published 2026-10-28

FreeImage is an image processing library used in many applications to load and manipulate graphics files. A vulnerability in the IFF/LBM image file parser allows an attacker to craft a malicious image file that writes uncontrolled data beyond allocated memory when the file is opened, potentially leading to program crashes, data corruption, or code execution.

Technologies: Danoli3 FreeImage. Vendors: Danoli3.

How to fix

Fixed in: 3.19.22

Technical details

The PBM RLE decoder in PluginIFF.cpp fails to validate that ByteRun1 run-length encoding runs do not exceed scanline boundaries, allowing heap buffer overflow. An attacker can supply a crafted IFF/LBM file with runs that straddle scanline ends to write up to 127 controlled bytes past the heap-allocated bitmap. This requires the victim to open the malicious file with an application using the vulnerable FreeImage library.
