Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Use of Uninitialized Variable in the cdxl_decode_ham8 or cdxl_decode_ham6 functions when processing type-0 CDXL files with HAM pixels that select uninitialized new_palette entries. An attacker can expose stack memory contents, including pointer fragments, by supplying a crafted file that triggers the use of these uninitialized palette entries.
