Echo: gdk-pixbuf: security update to 2.42.12+dfsg-4+e6

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 472798

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - A flaw was found in gdk-pixbuf. This vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a heap out-of-bounds
 read by providing a specially crafted Apple Icon Image (.icns) file. The uncompress() function, which
 handles RLE-encoded ICNS icon data, fails to validate the source buffer's boundaries during decompression.
 This can lead to a denial of service, where the application crashes, or to information disclosure,
 potentially revealing sensitive data from adjacent memory. (CVE-2026-18090)

Solution

Update the gdk-pixbuf library and its related packages to version 2.42.12+dfsg-4+e6 or later.
