Hi,

The following vulnerability was published for emacs.

CVE-2026-77219[0]:
| GNU Emacs before 31.0.91 contains an integer overflow in the
| PBM/PPM/PGM image loader that allows an attacker to leak heap memory
| contents by supplying a crafted image with large dimensions and an
| elevated max color index. The image loader multiplies image
| dimensions and channel count using signed integer arithmetic; for
| sufficiently large values, the result wraps to a negative number,
| bypassing the bounds check and causing the pixel reader to access
| heap memory past the end of the allocated buffer. The over-read
| contents are interpreted as pixel color values and rendered on
| screen.


If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the
CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id in your changelog entry.
