CVE-2026-52834
Published:July 02, 2026
Updated:July 06, 2026
Summary On 32-bit platforms, decoding a crafted image may lead to out-of-bounds writes due to integer overflow in length calculation. Details & PoC The test listed below fail under miri with command "cargo +nightly miri test --release -p jxl-grid" Or you can use Address Sanitizer, which ignores Rust-specific UB like aliasing but still flags out-of-bounds accesses: "RUSTFLAGS=-Zsanitizer=address cargo +nightly test -Zbuild-std -p jxl-grid --release --target x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu" The following tests should be appended to "crates/jxl-grid/src/test/subgrids.rs": mod miri_ub { use super::*; // "AlignedGrid::with_alloc_tracker" computes "width * height" unchecked. In release, overflow // can create a tiny backing buffer for huge logical dimensions. #[test] fn aligned_grid_dimension_product_overflows() { let width = usize::MAX / 2 + 1; let mut grid = AlignedGrid::<u8>::with_alloc_tracker(width, 2, None).unwrap(); let mut subgrid = grid.as_subgrid_mut(); *subgrid.get_mut(0, 1) = 1; std::hint::black_box(grid); } } This issue can be reachable through decoding a crafted image in two ways: 1. Huge actual frame A frame such as "65536 x 65536" passes the current frame area limit ("2^32 <= 2^40") but overflows "usize" element count on 32-bit. Rendering then allocates too-small "AlignedGrid"s in modular/VarDCT/filter paths and later writes through mutable subgrids. 2. Huge canvas plus tiny cropped frame This is the more practical “small payload, huge logical output” case. A bitstream-controlled frame crop can be tiny, but if the canvas/default requested region is huge, composition can allocate an output grid sized to the canvas/ROI at crates/jxl-render/src/blend.rs. That is bitstream frame cropping, not API crop. With a 32-bit target and a full requested image region whose area overflows, this can happen through ordinary "render_frame()". Impact On 32-bit platforms this can cause out-of-bounds writes with attacker-controlled data when decoding a crafted JPEG XL image. This could allow arbitrary code execution.
