Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-789: Memory Allocation with Excessive Size Value, where the product allocates memory based on an untrusted, large size value, but it does not ensure that the size is within expected limits, allowing arbitrary amounts of memory to be allocated. In SixLabors.ImageSharp, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

### Impact _What kind of vulnerability is it? Who is impacted?_ A vulnerability discovered in the ImageSharp library, where the processing of specially crafted files can lead to excessive memory usage in the Gif decoder. The vulnerability is triggered when ImageSharp attempts to process image files that are designed to exploit this flaw. ### Patches _Has the problem been patched? What versions should users upgrade to?_ The problem has been patched. All users are advised to upgrade to v3.1.5 or v2.1.9. ### Workarounds _Is there a way for users to fix or remediate the vulnerability without upgrading?_ Before calling `Image.Decode(Async)`, use `Image.Identify` to determine the image dimensions in order to enforce a limit. ### References _Are there any links users can visit to find out more?_ - https://github.com/SixLabors/ImageSharp/pull/2759 - https://github.com/SixLabors/ImageSharp/pull/2764 - https://github.com/SixLabors/ImageSharp/pull/2770 - ImageSharp: [Security Considerations](https://docs.sixlabors.com/articles/imagesharp/security.html) - ImageSharp.Web: [Securing Processing Commands](https://docs.sixlabors.com/articles/imagesharp.web/processingcommands.html#securing-processing-commands)
