All versions are vulnerable to Heap-based Buffer Overflow through the XWD parser&#8217;s use of the bytes_per_line value. The value os read directly from the file as the read size in io-&gt;strict_read(), and is never compared to the actual size of the destination buffer. An attacker can provide an XWD file with an arbitrarily large bytes_per_line, causing a massive write operation beyond the buffer heap allocated for the image pixels. The issue did not have a fix at the time of publication.<\/p>\n<p>Severity: 8.8 | HIGH<\/p>\n<p>Visit the link for more details, such as CVSS details, affected products, timeline, and more&#8230;\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CVE ID : CVE-2026-27168 Published : Feb. 21, 2026, 12:16 a.m. | 47\u00a0minutes ago Description : SAIL is a cross-platform library for loading and saving images with support for animation, metadata, and ICC profiles.
