Fedora 42: Imhex Security Enhancements for Library Conflicts and CVE Fixes

fedora
Calendar Grey December 10, 2025
Dist Fedora Esm H88
ImHex update for Fedora 42 resolves library conflicts and addresses multiple CVEs requiring recommended upgrades to ensure security.
Unbundle plutovg from lunasvg, this avoids shipping a duplicate library with conflicting files

Summary

ImHex is a Hex Editor, a tool to display, decode and analyze binary data to

reverse engineer their format, extract informations or patch values in them.

What makes ImHex special is that it has many advanced features that can often

only be found in paid applications. Such features are a completely custom binary

template and pattern language to decode and highlight structures in the data, a

graphical node-based data processor to pre-process values before they're

displayed, a disassembler, diffing support, bookmarks and much much more. At the

same time ImHex is completely free and open source under the GPLv2 language.

Update Information:

Unbundle plutovg from lunasvg, this avoids shipping a duplicate library with conflicting files. Update lunasvg to consume the plutovg version already available in the repositories and to fix various CVEs. Rebuild imhex for the updated lunasvg.
