 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian LTS Advisory DLA-4874-1 [email protected] https://www.debian.org/lts/security/ Chris Lamb October 31, 2026 https://wiki.debian.org/LTS

 Package : eog Version : 43.2-1+deb12u1 CVE ID : CVE-2026-107651 CVE-2026-118475 Debian Bug : 1150455

 Two vulnerabilities were discovered in Eye of GNOME (eog), the lightweight image viewer:

 CVE-2026-107651

 A heap-based buffer overflow existed in the PNG metadata reader due to improper state handling when parsing split metadata chunks. A remote attacker could have exploited this flaw by enticing a user into opening a specially crafted `.png` file, potentially leading to arbitrary code execution or a Denial of Service (DoS) via crashing the application.

 CVE-2026-118475

 When parsing a specially crafted PNG image containing malformed color profile metadata, *eog* failed to validate chunk boundaries while searching for a null terminator. An attacker could have tricked a user into opening a malicious image, causing the application to read past the allocated buffer. This issue could also have led to an application crash, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS) or potentially exposing sensitive memory contents.

 For Debian 12 bookworm, these problems have been fixed in version 43.2-1+deb12u1.

 We recommend that you upgrade your eog packages.

 For the detailed security status of eog please refer to its security tracker page at:

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution
