How to fix?

Upgrade Amazon-Linux:2023 libjxl-devtools-debuginfo to version 1:0.10.3-55.amzn2023 or higher.
This issue was patched in ALAS2023-2026-1459.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libjxl-devtools-debuginfo package and not the libjxl-devtools-debuginfo package as distributed by Amazon-Linux. See How to fix? for Amazon-Linux:2023 relevant fixed versions and status.

A specially-crafted file can cause libjxl's decoder to write pixel data to uninitialized unallocated memory. Soon after that data from another uninitialized unallocated region is copied to pixel data.

This can be done by requesting color transformation of grayscale images to another grayscale color space. Buffers allocated for 1-float-per-pixel are used as if they are allocated for 3-float-per-pixel. That happens only if LCMS2 is used as CMS engine. There is another CMS engine available (selected by build flags).
