| A flaw was found in the admin backend of gvfs. The privileged gvfsd-admin daemon changes the ownership of newly created private D-Bus sockets by calling the link-following chown() function on a pathname inside a user-controlled directory. A local attacker can exploit this via a Time-of-Check Time-of-Use (TOCTOU) race condition and exchange the socket pathname with a symbolic link pointing to an arbitrary root-owned file (such as /etc/pam.d/su). The daemon subsequently follows the symlink and changes the ownership of the targeted root-owned file to the attacker's user ID. This allows an authenticated local attacker to modify critical system files, leading to a full local privilege escalation to root. |
| A flaw was found in libsoup. When a client sends an HTTP/2 request body from a non-pollable input stream, the library can buffer more data than the current flow-control window later allows. A malicious HTTP/2 server can shrink SETTINGS_INITIAL_WINDOW_SIZE while that buffered read is still in progress. The client then copies the full buffer into a smaller DATA callback without a runtime bounds check, which can abort the process or fail the HTTP/2 session. |
| A flaw was found in librest. The PKCE implementation for OAuth authorization uses the GRand function from the GLib API, a cryptographically insecure pseudo-random number generator. Because the generated "code verifier" lacks sufficient cryptographic entropy, a malicious actor can reverse-engineer the pseudo-random number generator (PRNG) seed to predict or reconstruct the code verifier string, allowing an attacker to bypass PKCE protections and successfully impersonate the client during the OAuth 2.0 authorization flow. |
| A flaw was found in the Seattle FilmWorks plugin in GIMP. When processing a specially crafted SFW image file, the plugin allocates a Variable-Length Array (VLA) on the stack without integer overflow checks, causing an unbounded stack allocation. This issue leads to an application crash, resulting in a denial of service. |
| A flaw was found in gdk-pixbuf. When loading a specially crafted JPEG image containing chunked ICC profile markers, an error during ICC profile parsing can leave stale size metadata after the profile buffer is freed. A subsequent allocation in the same decode can cause an out-of-bounds write, potentially crashing the application. To exploit this flaw, an application using gdk-pixbuf must process the malicious JPEG image.
Affected version >= 2.26.4 |
| A heap-based buffer overflow problem was found in glib through an incorrect calculation of buffer size in the g_escape_uri_string() function. If the string to escape contains a very large number of unacceptable characters (which would need escaping), the calculation of the length of the escaped string could overflow, leading to a potential write off the end of the newly allocated string. |
| A heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the Dia diagram editor WPG file format importer.
In plug-ins/wpg/wpg-import.c, the WPG import renderer allocates a fixed palette with:
ren->pPal = g_new0(WPGColorRGB, 256);
When handling a WPG_COLORMAP record, the parser reads a start index (i16) and number of colors (iNum16) from the file and reads palette data with:
bRet &= (iNum16 == (int)fread(&ren->pPal[i16], sizeof(WPGColorRGB), iNum16, f));
The only bounds-related check is `if (i16 >= 0 && i16 <= iSize)`, where iSize is the WPG record size—not the palette capacity. There is no validation that i16 is less than 256 or that i16 + iNum16 does not exceed 256.
A malicious WPG file can supply i16=256 and iNum16=264. That causes fread() to write 792 bytes starting at &pPal[256], while the palette buffer is only 768 bytes (256 entries × 3 bytes). This overflows into adjacent heap metadata and can crash Dia (SIGABRT / malloc corruption errors) or, depending on heap layout and exploit primitives, potentially lead to arbitrary code execution.
Exploitation requires convincing a user to open a crafted WPG file via Dia's file dialog, command line, or file association. No special privileges are required to deliver the file to the victim.
Affected component: WPG parser (plug-ins/wpg/wpg-import.c).
Affected versions: all Dia versions containing this code path (reporter tested Dia 0.98+git20260221-1; issue present on upstream master as of 2026-08-21). |
| A stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the Dia diagram editor when processing Network Bus objects from Dia XML project files.
In objects/network/bus.c, bus_load() reads the number of bus handles from the file attribute "bus_handles" using attribute_num_data() without validating an upper bound:
bus->num_handles = attribute_num_data(attr);
When a bus handle is subsequently moved, bus_handle_moved() allocates two temporary arrays on the stack:
parallel = (real *)g_alloca(num_handles * sizeof(real));
perp = (real *)g_alloca(num_handles * sizeof(real));
Because num_handles is fully attacker-controlled via the project file, sufficiently large values (for example 262144 or higher) cause g_alloca() to consume more stack space than the default thread stack limit (typically 8 MB on Linux), resulting in stack overflow, SIGSEGV, and potential stack frame / return-address corruption.
An attacker can embed a Bus object with an excessive bus_handles count in a malicious .dia file. Exploitation requires the victim to open the file in Dia (file dialog, command line, or file association) and trigger handle manipulation (moving a bus handle), which exercises the vulnerable code path.
The identical g_alloca pattern is present in objects/Misc/tree.c (copied from bus.c) and is likely vulnerable to the same class of attack via Tree objects.
Affected versions: Dia 0.98.0 and earlier versions containing this code; issue confirmed on upstream master as of 2026-08-21.

| A path traversal (ZIP slip) vulnerability exists in Epiphany when installing WebExtension packages from .xpi files.
In src/webextension/ephy-web-extension-manager.c, the decompress_xpi_thread() function extracts XPI archives (ZIP format) to disk using libarchive. For each archive entry, the output path is built by concatenating the intended extraction directory with the raw pathname from the archive:
full_path = g_build_filename(path, archive_entry_pathname(entry), NULL);
archive_entry_set_pathname(entry, full_path);
ret = archive_write_header(ext, entry);
The libarchive extraction options did not include ARCHIVE_EXTRACT_SECURE_NODOTDOT or ARCHIVE_EXTRACT_SECURE_SYMLINKS. As a result, archive entries containing parent-directory traversal sequences (for example "../../../../../.bashrc") are written outside the intended web_extensions extraction directory.
A malicious .xpi file can therefore overwrite arbitrary files writable by the user running Epiphany, such as ~/.bashrc, ~/.config/autostart/*.desktop, or ~/.ssh/authorized_keys. This can lead to persistent code execution on subsequent shell startup or GNOME login.
Exploitation requires the victim to install or open a crafted .xpi file. The reporter notes that opening an XPI can trigger extraction even when the WebExtensions feature is not enabled by default.
Affected versions: Epiphany >= 47.rc.
Fixed upstream in epiphany 50.6 and 49.9 via merge request !2143, which adds ARCHIVE_EXTRACT_SECURE_NODOTDOT and ARCHIVE_EXTRACT_SECURE_SYMLINKS to archive_write_disk_set_options().

| A heap out-of-bounds read flaw was found in libsoup. When parsing multipart HTTP messages, an integer type mismatch between the caller and soup_headers_parse() can cause the length parameter to be incorrectly truncated, leading to a heap buffer over-read. A remote attacker could use this flaw to crash an application using libsoup or potentially disclose heap memory contents. |
| A flaw was found in libsoup. An unsigned integer underflow in the soup_filter_input_stream_read_until() function causes a heap buffer over-read when parsing multipart HTTP responses. A malicious HTTP server can exploit this by sending a crafted multipart response, potentially causing the client application to crash or disclose sensitive heap memory. |
| A flaw was found in libsoup. The chunked transfer encoding parser uses a permissive parsing function for chunk sizes that silently accepts inputs violating RFC 9112, including leading whitespace, plus sign prefixes, and trailing invalid characters. When libsoup operates behind a strict frontend proxy, this parsing differential can be exploited to smuggle HTTP requests. |
| A flaw was found in libsoup. After a CONNECT tunnel is established through an HTTP proxy, libsoup incorrectly attaches the Proxy-Authorization header to subsequent HTTPS requests sent through that tunnel to the destination server. This allows the destination server to capture proxy credentials, leading to information disclosure. |
| A code injection vulnerability exists in Epiphany when the user invokes form autofill from the context menu on a page containing a malicious HTML form.
In embed/web-process-extension/resources/js/ephy_autofill.js, getSelector() builds a CSS selector by directly interpolating an element's id attribute:
path.unshift(`#${el.id}`);
When the user selects an autofill entry, the browser process in embed/ephy-web-view.c previously constructed JavaScript using sprintf with the selector embedded in single quotes:
EphyAutofill.fill(PAGE_ID, 'SELECTOR', FILL_CHOICE);
Because SELECTOR comes from attacker-controlled page content and is not escaped, a crafted id such as a'); PAYLOAD; var _=(' breaks out of the string literal and executes arbitrary JavaScript when the script is evaluated.
The injected code runs in Epiphany's private autofill script world, which hosts EphyAutofill credential APIs and password manager save/request handlers. The reporter demonstrated a proof of concept that injects credentials into another domain and uses Ephy.permissionsManager to enumerate domains with special permissions. Full exfiltration of all saved passwords was not demonstrated but may be possible given the privileges of this context.
Exploitation requires the victim to visit a malicious page, right-click on a form field, and choose an Autofill context menu item. This is a deliberate user action but does not require installing software or entering credentials manually.
Affected versions: Epiphany >= 47.beta.
Fixed upstream in epiphany 50.6 and 49.9 via merge request !2147, which replaces sprintf-based script evaluation with a WebKit user message and jsc_value_object_invoke_method() passing the selector as a typed string argument.

| A flaw was found in Yelp due to an overly permissive Content Security Policy (CSP) implementation provided by yelp-xsl. A malicious Flatpak application can open crafted help content through the OpenURI portal. By embedding an untrusted CSS stylesheet within a structured SVG document, attacker-controlled content can bypass Flatpak's intended sandbox isolation, allowing Yelp to evaluate local XML inclusions and disclose arbitrary user-readable host files through remote CSS resource requests. This may result in the unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information. |
| A flaw was found in Epiphany. An issue in how the browser reads web addresses allows attackers to fake the domain name shown in the address bar. If a user clicks a specially crafted link containing a colon (for example, [https://trusted.com:80@attacker.com/](https://trusted.com:80@attacker.com/)), the address bar and security menus will display the safe website (trusted.com) but it will actually load the attacker website (attacker.com) on the screen. This allows attackers to create convincing phishing pages to trick users into trusting a malicious site. |
| A flaw was found in GIMP. The PlayStation TIM loader, responsible for handling PlayStation image files, incorrectly calculates the size of the Color Look-Up Table (CLUT) due to an integer overflow. This occurs when multiplying num_colors and num_cluts, both 16-bit unsigned short integers, resulting in a value exceeding the maximum integer limit. An attacker could exploit this by providing a specially crafted image file, leading to undefined behavior and causing the GIMP plug-in to abort, effectively resulting in a denial of service. |
| A flaw was found in the GIF parser of GdkPixbuf’s LZW decoder. When an invalid symbol is encountered during decompression, the decoder sets the reported output size to the full buffer length rather than the actual number of written bytes. This logic error results in uninitialized sections of the buffer being included in the output, potentially leaking arbitrary memory contents in the processed image. |
| A flaw was found in GLib. A denial of service on Windows platforms may occur if an application attempts to spawn a program using long command lines. |
| A flaw was found in libsoup. The package is vulnerable to a heap buffer over-read when sniffing content via the skip_insight_whitespace() function. Libsoup clients may read one byte out-of-bounds in response to a crafted HTTP response by an HTTP server. |
