Hi,

The following vulnerability was published for gdk-ppixbuf.

CVE-2026-81893[0]:
| A flaw was found in gdk-pixbuf. When loading a specially crafted
| JPEG image containing chunked ICC profile markers, an error during
| ICC profile parsing can leave stale size metadata after the profile
| buffer is freed. A subsequent allocation in the same decode can
| cause an out-of-bounds write, potentially crashing the application.
| To exploit this flaw, an application using gdk-pixbuf must process
| the malicious JPEG image.  Affected version >= 2.26.4
