MEDIUM 5.3REMOTEUPGRADE
CVE-2026-106116 is a medium-severity flaw (CVSS 5.3) affecting imagesharp. Below: why it ranks where it does, which versions are affected, what to do, and the exact commands.
ImageSharp is a 2D graphics library. From 2.0.0 until 4.1.2, ExifReader.ReadValues64 trusts the 64-bit BigTIFF IFD entry count and iterates once per declared entry. When fewer than 20 bytes remain, ExifReader.ReadValue64 returns without advancing the stream or terminating the outer loop, so a small malformed BigTIFF can keep one decoder thread executing for an attacker-controlled duration. This report does not claim worker-pool exhaustion. This i
Why this priority
- Public exploit reference
- Remotely exploitable, no login, no user action
A fixed release or distro patch exists.

Distros often backport fixes without changing the version number. Confirm with the distro advisory or changelog.

apt-cache madison imagesharp
sudo apt install imagesharp=<VERSION_BEFORE_2.0.0>
sudo apt-mark hold imagesharp

Downgrading can break dependent software and may reopen older bugs. Read the distro advisory first and test on a non-production host.
After downgrade
Restart the service, and keep the package held until a fixed release ships.
