Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Out-of-bounds Write through the image decoding process when handling grid tile chroma compositing. An attacker can execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service by crafting a specially designed HEIF/AVIF file with a 1×4 grid of odd-height tiles.
