@pip-izony did you request a CVE for this, or do you plan to request one? Otherwise we'll do that.

I want to report it to CVE. But if you reported this bug, do I have something to do?

[jubalh]

I want to report it to CVE.

Ok, then I'll wait :) Please comment the assigned CVE here once you have it.

If you report this bug, do I need to do it myself?

I didn't do it yet. I thought I'll ask you first whether you prefer to do it yourself.

[pip-izony]

Ok then I will report the bug. Thank you for your reply:)

This is a task for security researchers. We are upstream writing and maintaining an image library.

Affected people can update to the latest version. Distributions already started backporting the fix into released versions.
