Hi,

The following vulnerability was published for gdk-pixbuf.

CVE-2026-18090[0]:
| A flaw was found in gdk-pixbuf. This vulnerability allows a remote
| attacker to cause a heap out-of-bounds read by providing a specially
| crafted Apple Icon Image (.icns) file. The uncompress() function,
| which handles RLE-encoded ICNS icon data, fails to validate the
| source buffer's boundaries during decompression. This can lead to a
| denial of service, where the application crashes, or to information
| disclosure, potentially revealing sensitive data from adjacent
| memory.
