 Package : vips CVE ID : CVE-2025-29769

 A heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability was discovered in vips, an fast image processing library designed with efficiency in mind, which may result in denial of service (application crash) if a specially crafted TIFF image file is processed.

 For the stable distribution (bookworm), this problem has been fixed in version 8.14.1-3+deb12u2.
