                     CVE-2022-28042

    Several vulnerabilities were discovered in libstb, single-file image
    and audio processing libraries for C/C++.

    CVE-2021-28021

        Buffer overflow vulnerability in function stbi__extend_receive in
        stb_image.h. Can be exploited with a crafted JPEG file.

    CVE-2021-37789

        a heap-based buffer over in stbi__jpeg_load, leading to
        Information Disclosure or Denial of Service.

    CVE-2021-42715

        The HDR loader parsed truncated end-of-file RLE scanlines as an
        infinite sequence of zero-length runs. An attacker could
        potentially have caused denial of service in applications using
        stb_image by submitting crafted HDR files.

    CVE-2022-28041

        an integer overflow via the function
        stbi__jpeg_decode_block_prog_dc. This vulnerability allows
        attackers to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) via unspecified
        vectors.

    CVE-2022-28042

         a heap-based use-after-free via the function
         stbi__jpeg_huff_decode.

    For Debian 11 bullseye, these problems have been fixed in version
    0.0~git20200713.b42009b+ds-1+deb11u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your libstb packages.
