NetSurf libnsbmp through 0.1.7 Out-of-Bounds Read via bmp_decode_mask
NetSurf libnsbmp through 0.1.7 contains an out-of-bounds read vulnerability in bmp_decode_mask() that allows attackers to read one byte past the image buffer by supplying crafted ICO files. Attackers can provide an ICO whose inner bitmap width is not a multiple of 8, causing a heap over-read that can crash applications calling bmp_decode().
