Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Out-of-bounds Read in the sixel_encoder_do_clip process when handling the --crop option. An attacker can cause a crash and potentially disclose sensitive information by supplying a specially crafted crop argument with positive coordinates up to INT_MAX, which leads to an out-of-bounds heap read.
