 Package : gdk-pixbuf Version : 2.42.2+dfsg-1+deb11u5 CVE ID : CVE-2026-5201 Debian Bug : 1132501

 It was discovered that gdk-pixbuf, the GDK Pixbuf library, does not properly validate color component counts in the JPEG image loader, which may result in the execution of arbitrary code or denial of service if specially crafted JPEG images are processed.

 For Debian 11 bullseye, this problem has been fixed in version 2.42.2+dfsg-1+deb11u5.

 We recommend that you upgrade your gdk-pixbuf packages.
