Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Heap-based Buffer Overflow via the ImagingBcnEncode function. An attacker can cause memory corruption or potentially execute arbitrary code by saving a specially crafted, large DDS image file as compressed data.
Note: This is only exploitable if untrusted data is saved as a compressed DDS image.
