CVE-2026-92449

MediumCVSS 6.8
Published: Updated: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

_gx_binres_pixelmap_table_load() in the GUIX binary resource (theme) loader indexes the pixelmap table with a value read verbatim from the resource file and never bounds it against the table size. A crafted theme drives a write of up to roughly 256 KB past the end of the table, corrupting GUIX's own memory arena.

Risk Assessment

Loading a malicious theme may corrupt GUIX memory and potentially lead to code execution or a system crash.

Recommendation

Upgrade GUIX to a version containing the fix and do not load untrusted binary themes until updated.

Original NVD description (English source)

`_gx_binres_pixelmap_table_load()` in the GUIX binary resource (theme) loader indexes the pixelmap table with a value read verbatim from the resource file and never bounds it against the table size. A crafted theme drives a write of up to roughly 256 KB past the end of the table. The overflowed buffer is allocated by GUIX itself, through `_gx_system_memory_allocator`, rather than supplied by the caller, so the loader corrupts its own arena. The public API `gx_binres_theme_load()` takes no size parameter, so no amount of caller diligence prevents this. Reproduces in the shipped default configuration; `GX_BINARY_RESOURCE_SUPPORT` is enabled by default.
