Hi, The following vulnerability was published for mutter. CVE-2026-108094[0]: | A use-after-free flaw was found in mutter in the Wayland color- | management ICC image-description path. A local attacker who can run | a malicious Wayland client can destroy a wp_image_description_v1 | resource while an asynchronous ICC file read is still in progress. | When the read completes, the compositor uses the freed wl_resource, | writes into freed memory, and frees a pointer derived from that | memory. This can crash the GNOME session and may allow arbitrary | code execution within the compositor process. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2549511 https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/5025 https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/5313 If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id in your changelog entry.
