Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Integer Overflow or Wraparound in the sixel_decode_raw_impl process. An attacker can cause a heap out-of-bounds write by supplying specially crafted SIXEL data that manipulates the repeat_count and pos_x values, leading to an integer overflow and bypassing buffer size checks.
