  - FLTK through 1.4.5 contains an integer overflow vulnerability in Fl_BMP_Image::load_bmp_() that causes
    undersized pixel buffer allocation from file-supplied width and height. Attackers can supply a crafted BMP
    or ICO file with large dimensions so row decoding writes file-derived data past the heap buffer,
    corrupting the application heap. (CVE-2026-116724)
