Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Use of Uninitialized Resource in the decoding process of grid-based HEIF or AVIF images when a corrupted tile fails to decode and the library returns a success status, resulting in uninitialized heap memory being exposed as pixel data. An attacker can access sensitive information from heap memory by submitting a crafted image file that triggers the leak during decoding. This is only exploitable if the default setting strict_decoding=false is used.
