Description

The UIL and XPM image encoder do not validate the pixel index value returned by GetPixelIndex() before using it as an array subscript. In HDRI builds, Quantum is a floating-point type, so pixel index values can be negative. An attacker can craft an image with negative pixel index values to trigger a global buffer overflow read during conversion, leading to information disclosure or a process crash.
