Summary

ThorVG, a vector graphics engine, has a heap buffer overflow in its bundled jpgd JPEG decoder, caused by duplicate component selectors in a crafted JPEG's scan header. A remote attacker who gets a user to open a crafted JPEG, including one embedded in Lottie content, can corrupt memory and crash the process, with no login required.

Read the original description

Thor Vector Graphics (ThorVG) is a production-ready vector graphics engine. Prior to 1.1.2, the bundled jpgd JPEG decoder accepts duplicate component selectors in an SOS scan header, causing each duplicate to increase m_blocks_per_mcu without checking the buffers sized from the frame components. A crafted grayscale JPEG can repeat its component in the SOS header, causing decode paths in src/loaders/jpg/tvgJpgd.cpp to write beyond heap buffers sized for one component. The issue is reachable through direct JPEG decoding and through JPEG images embedded in Lottie content, and confirmed impact is memory corruption followed by a process crash. This issue is fixed in version 1.1.2.

Questions about CVE-2026-123367

Is CVE-2026-123367 being exploited?

It is not in CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, and CISA's SSVC assessment does not mark exploitation as active. That does not mean it has not been attacked: vendors and researchers can report attacks before CISA lists them. No public exploit code is tracked.Source: cve.now feed data

What does this mean?

The bundled jpgd JPEG decoder can write past the end of a heap buffer when a JPEG lists the same component several times in its SOS scan header. At minimum this crashes the process, causing denial of service, and further escalation toward code execution may be possible.Source: github.com

Which versions are affected by CVE-2026-123367?

thorvg: before 1.1.2.Source: cve.now feed data

Am I affected, and how do I check?

Versions 1.1.0, 1.1.1 and main before the fix are listed as affected. Any image ThorVG decodes can trigger it, including a plain .jpg or a JPEG embedded in a Lottie file, so check the ThorVG version your build uses against 1.1.2.Source: github.com

How do I fix CVE-2026-123367?

Upgrade ThorVG to 1.1.2 or later, which contains the fix.Source: github.com
