Overview

rgb is a RGB pixel struct.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Type Confusion. It allows viewing and modifying data of any type T wrapped in RGB<T> as bytes, and do not correctly constrain RGB<T> and other wrapper structures to the types for which it is safe to do so. If T contains padding, viewing it as bytes may lead to exposure of contents of uninitialized memory. If T contains a pointer, modifying it as bytes may lead to dereferencing of arbitrary pointers.
