There is no fixed version for Echo:latest vips.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream vips package and not the vips package as distributed by Echo.
See How to fix? for Echo:latest relevant fixed versions and status.
libvips is a fast image processing library with low memory needs. Prior to version 8.18.3, libvips built with libultrahdr support can incorrectly size an output buffer in libvips/foreign/uhdrsave.c within vips_foreign_save_uhdr_set_raw_hdr when a pipeline enlarges an incoming JPEG to a very large output before encoding a gain map through VipsForeignSaveUhdr. The undersized allocation can cause a heap buffer over-read that may disclose adjacent data or crash the process. This issue is fixed in version 8.18.3.
