CVE-2026-20889 CRITICAL PATCH

Heap-based buffer overflow in LibRaw's x3f_thumb_loader function allows remote code execution via malformed image files. The vulnerability affects LibRaw commit d20315b, a widely-used raw image processing library integrated into applications like ImageMagick, GIMP, and numerous photo management tools. The CVSS 9.8 critical rating reflects network-exploitable conditions requiring no authentication or user interaction. With an EPSS score not yet available and no CISA KEV listing, active exploitation is not confirmed at time of analysis, though the attack complexity is low and requires only delivering a specially crafted file to vulnerable processing workflows.

CVE-2026-21413 CRITICAL PATCH

Heap-based buffer overflow in LibRaw's lossless JPEG processing (commits 0b56545 and d20315b) allows unauthenticated remote attackers to achieve arbitrary code execution by providing a malicious image file. The vulnerability scores CVSS 9.8 (Critical) with network attack vector, low complexity, and no authentication required. No CISA KEV listing or public exploit identified at time of analysis, though Talos Intelligence has published detailed vulnerability research (TALOS-2026-2331).

CVE-2026-20911 CRITICAL PATCH

Heap-based buffer overflow in LibRaw's HuffTable::initval function allows unauthenticated remote attackers to achieve arbitrary code execution via malformed image files. Affects LibRaw commits 0b56545 and d20315b with CVSS 9.8 critical severity. Attack requires no user interaction beyond processing a malicious file. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, though technical details from Cisco Talos suggest proof-of-concept exists. EPSS data not available, but the combination of network-accessible attack vector, low complexity, and no authentication barrier represents significant risk for applications processing untrusted image files.

CVE-2026-24660 HIGH PATCH

Heap buffer overflow in LibRaw's x3f_load_huffman function (commit d20315b) allows remote attackers to achieve arbitrary code execution via malicious X3F image files. The vulnerability stems from an integer overflow (CWE-190) leading to heap corruption. CVSS 8.1 reflects high impact across confidentiality, integrity, and availability, though attack complexity is rated high. EPSS data not available; no CISA KEV listing indicates no confirmed active exploitation at time of analysis. Reported by Cisco Talos (TALOS-2026-2359), affecting LibRaw's Sigma X3F raw image parsing functionality.

CVE-2026-20884 HIGH PATCH

Integer overflow in LibRaw's deflate_dng_load_raw function (commit 8dc68e2) enables remote heap buffer overflow via crafted DNG image files, allowing potential code execution without authentication. With CVSS 8.1 and network-accessible attack vector requiring no user interaction, this represents significant risk for applications processing untrusted DNG files. EPSS data not available; no public exploit identified at time of analysis.

CVE-2026-24450 HIGH PATCH

Heap buffer overflow in LibRaw's DNG image processing (commit 8dc68e2) enables remote code execution when parsing maliciously crafted uncompressed floating-point DNG files. The vulnerability stems from an integer overflow in uncompressed_fp_dng_load_raw that miscalculates buffer sizes, allowing network-based attackers to achieve arbitrary code execution with high impact to confidentiality, integrity, and availability (CVSS 8.1). No public exploit identified at time of analysis, though Cisco Talos has published technical details. Authentication requirements not confirmed from available data, but CVSS vector indicates no privileges required (PR:N).
