{"id":"UBUNTU-CVE-2025-59933","details":"libvips is a demand-driven, horizontally threaded image processing library. For versions 8.17.1 and below, when libvips is compiled with support for PDF input via poppler, the pdfload operation is affected by a buffer read overflow when parsing the header of a crafted PDF with a page that defines a width but not a height. Those using libvips compiled without support for PDF input are unaffected as well as thosewith support for PDF input via PDFium. This issue is fixed in version 8.17.2. A workaround for those affected is to block the VipsForeignLoadPdf operation via vips_operation_block_set, which is available in most language bindings, or to set VIPS_BLOCK_UNTRUSTED environment variable at runtime, which will block all untrusted loaders including PDF input via poppler.","modified":"2026-09-14T16:32:00.089754805Z","published":"2025-09-29T22:15:00Z","upstream":["CVE-2025-59933"],"references":[{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2025-59933"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2025-59933"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/libvips/libvips/security/advisories/GHSA-q8px-4w5q-c2r4"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://github.com/libvips/libvips/commit/a58bfae9223a5466cc81ba9fe6dfb08233cf17d1"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"vips","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:16.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/vips?arch=source&distro=esm-apps%2Fxenial"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["7.40.6-2ubuntu2","8.0.2-2","8.2.1-1","8.2.2-1","8.2.2-1ubuntu0.1~esm1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"gir1.2-vips-8.0","binary_version":"8.2.2-1ubuntu0.1~esm1"},{"binary_name":"libvips-tools","binary_version":"8.2.2-1ubuntu0.1~esm1"},{"binary_version":"8.2.2-1ubuntu0.1~esm1","binary_name":"libvips42"},{"binary_version":"8.2.2-1ubuntu0.1~esm1","binary_name":"python-vipscc"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2025/UBUNTU-CVE-2025-59933.json"}},{"package":{"name":"vips","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:18.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/vips?arch=source&distro=esm-apps%2Fbionic"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["8.4.5-1build1","8.4.5-1ubuntu0.1~esm1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"gir1.2-vips-8.0","binary_version":"8.4.5-1ubuntu0.1~esm1"},{"binary_name":"libvips-tools","binary_version":"8.4.5-1ubuntu0.1~esm1"},{"binary_name":"libvips42","binary_version":"8.4.5-1ubuntu0.1~esm1"},{"binary_version":"8.4.5-1ubuntu0.1~esm1","binary_name":"python-vipscc"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2025/UBUNTU-CVE-2025-59933.json"}},{"package":{"name":"vips","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:20.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/vips?arch=source&distro=esm-apps%2Ffocal"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["8.7.4-1build1","8.8.3-3","8.8.3-3ubuntu1","8.9.0-1","8.9.0-1build1","8.9.1-1","8.9.1-2","8.9.1-2ubuntu0.1~esm1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"gir1.2-vips-8.0","binary_version":"8.9.1-2ubuntu0.1~esm1"},{"binary_name":"libvips-tools","binary_version":"8.9.1-2ubuntu0.1~esm1"},{"binary_version":"8.9.1-2ubuntu0.1~esm1","binary_name":"libvips42"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2025/UBUNTU-CVE-2025-59933.json"}},{"package":{"name":"vips","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:22.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/vips?arch=source&distro=esm-apps%2Fjammy"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["8.10.5-2ubuntu1","8.11.4-2","8.12.1-1","8.12.1-1build1","8.12.1-1ubuntu0.1~esm1","8.12.1-1ubuntu0.1~esm2"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"gir1.2-vips-8.0","binary_version":"8.12.1-1ubuntu0.1~esm2"},{"binary_version":"8.12.1-1ubuntu0.1~esm2","binary_name":"libvips-tools"},{"binary_name":"libvips42","binary_version":"8.12.1-1ubuntu0.1~esm2"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2025/UBUNTU-CVE-2025-59933.json"}},{"package":{"name":"vips","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:24.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/vips?arch=source&distro=esm-apps%2Fnoble"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["8.14.3-1","8.14.5-1","8.15.0-1","8.15.0-2","8.15.1-1","8.15.1-1build1","8.15.1-1.1build3","8.15.1-1.1build4","8.15.1-1.1ubuntu0.1~esm1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"gir1.2-vips-8.0","binary_version":"8.15.1-1.1ubuntu0.1~esm1"},{"binary_version":"8.15.1-1.1ubuntu0.1~esm1","binary_name":"libvips-tools"},{"binary_version":"8.15.1-1.1ubuntu0.1~esm1","binary_name":"libvips42t64"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2025/UBUNTU-CVE-2025-59933.json"}},{"package":{"name":"vips","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:25.10","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/vips?arch=source&distro=questing"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["8.16.0-2build1","8.16.1-1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"gir1.2-vips-8.0","binary_version":"8.16.1-1"},{"binary_name":"libvips-tools","binary_version":"8.16.1-1"},{"binary_version":"8.16.1-1","binary_name":"libvips42t64"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2025/UBUNTU-CVE-2025-59933.json"}},{"package":{"name":"vips","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:26.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/vips?arch=source&distro=esm-apps%2Fresolute"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["8.16.1-1","8.16.1-2","8.17.3-2","8.18.0-1","8.18.0-1build1","8.18.0-1ubuntu0.1~esm1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_version
