Executive Summary

This vulnerability exists in libvips version 8.19.0, specifically in the function vips_extract_band_build within the file libvips/conversion/extract.c. It is caused by improper handling of the argument extract_band, which leads to an out-of-bounds read. This means that the program reads memory outside the intended buffer, potentially causing unexpected behavior or crashes.

The attack exploiting this vulnerability must be performed locally, meaning an attacker needs local access to the system to trigger it. A patch has been identified to fix this issue.

Impact Analysis

The vulnerability allows an attacker with local access to cause an out-of-bounds read in the libvips library. This can lead to information disclosure by reading unintended memory areas, potentially exposing sensitive data.

However, the impact is limited as the CVSS scores indicate a low severity (BaseScore 1.7 to 3.3), with no impact on integrity or availability, and only partial impact on confidentiality.
