There is a buffer overwrite in gdk-pixbuf. I will eventually create a whole SRU document with how to reproduce and all, but I'll just say it is a nasty one. Opening it on my old iMac from about 2007/2009 in Nemo causes the entire system to run out of memory. (With firefox, 1612/3922 MB - which says something.)

It may be possible all apps using gdk-pixbuf can have a problem handling files like the PoC.
