    A heap-based buffer overflow was discovered in the RGBE/HDR parser of     GEGL, a graph-based image processing library, which could result in     denial of service or the execution of arbitrary code if malformed files     are processed.

    For the oldstable distribution (bookworm), this problem has been fixed     in version 1:0.4.42-2+deb12u2.

    For the stable distribution (trixie), this problem has been fixed in     version 1:0.4.62-2+deb13u2.

    We recommend that you upgrade your gegl packages.
