### Impact Apps that call `clipboard.readImage()` may be vulnerable to a denial of service. If the system clipboard contains image data that fails to decode, the resulting null bitmap is passed unchecked to image construction, triggering a controlled abort and crashing the process.

Apps are only affected if they call `clipboard.readImage()`. Apps that do not read images from the clipboard are not affected. This issue does not allow memory corruption or code execution.

### Workarounds Validate that the clipboard contains image data via `clipboard.availableFormats()` before calling `clipboard.readImage()`. Note this only narrows the window — upgrading to a fixed version is recommended.

### Fixed Versions * `42.0.0-alpha.5` * `41.1.0` * `40.8.5` * `39.8.5`
