Description
A heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists in HappySeaFox sail versions prior to 1.0.0. The flaw occurs when loading crafted color-mapped run-length-encoded TGA images, where the pixel buffer allocation does not match the attacker-controlled pixel size derived from the image header. This mismatch allows writing beyond the allocated heap buffer, potentially causing heap corruption, crashes, or code execution. The issue is an incomplete fix of a previous vulnerability (CVE-2026-40494) and has been resolved in version 1.0.0.
