Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (2.30%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
libvips before 8.7.4 generates output images from uninitialized memory locations when processing corrupted input image data because iofuncs/memory.c does not zero out allocated memory. This can result in leaking raw process memory contents through the output image.
