    It was discovered that libjxl did not perform proper bounds checking

    when decoding patches. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause libjxl to enter an infinite

    It was discovered that libjxl did not perform proper bounds checking when performing JPEG recompression.
    An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause libjxl to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or
    possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2024-11403)

    It was discovered that libjxl incorrectly handled parsing certain image files. An attacker could possibly
    use this issue to cause libjxl to

    consume excessive amounts of memory, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2024-11498)
