Last modified

CVE-2026-116724 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.8/10 on the CVSS scale. FLTK through 1.4.5 contains an integer overflow vulnerability in Fl_BMP_Image::load_bmp_() that causes undersized pixel buffer allocation from file-supplied width and height. Attackers can supply a crafted BMP or ICO file with large dimensions so row decoding writes file-derived data past the heap buffer, corrupting the application heap.. EPSS estimates a 0.15% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
