An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2020-22524 exists.\n\nAffected product: Freeimage Project Freeimage. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-22524/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-22524/index.md)","id":"CVE-2020-22524","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-22524/index.md","name":"CVE-2020-22524","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2020-22524","GHSA-qrgg-mgwx-hq8f","UBUNTU-CVE-2020-22524"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"FreeImage library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can cause a denial of service in applications using the FreeImage library by providing a crafted PFM file.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"freeimage","vendor":"freeimage_project"}],"cvss":{"score":6.5,"severity":"medium","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-120","name":"Buffer Copy without Checking Size of Input"}],"description":"Buffer Overflow vulnerability in FreeImage_Load function in FreeImage Library 3.19.0(r1828) allows attackers to cuase a denial of service via crafted PFM file.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-22524","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"freeimage_project:freeimage","products":["freeimage_project:freeimage"],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2020"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":5,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-22533"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-22481"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2023-08-22","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Use after free in n/a","id":"CVE-2025-70968","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-01-14"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2024-31570","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-09-19"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2023-47992","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-01-09"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2023-47994","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-01-09"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-24292","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-08-22"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-24293","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-08-22"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-24295","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-08-22"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"poc","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-05-05","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Attackers can cause a denial of service in applications using the FreeImage library by providing a crafted PFM file.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-22524/"}
