[Urgent security issue] FreeImage arbitrary code execution vulnerability

[lavenderdotpet]

main 2 I think is the most important to point out

• [CVE-2023-47994]
• [CVE-2023-47992]

both of these can run arbitrary code one of them being from the BMP plugin so I am assuming a person could get a user to load a malicious BMP or a file with a malicious bpm inside of it

Free Image should either be forked and fixed asap or abandoned for a different library

active project i could find that use freeimage https://github.com/sirjuddington/SLADE https://github.com/TrenchBroom/TrenchBroom https://github.com/RetroPie/EmulationStation https://github.com/MonoGame/MonoGame https://github.com/meganz/MEGAsync https://github.com/OGRECave/ogre https://github.com/OGRECave/ogre-next https://github.com/Open-Cascade-SAS/OCCT https://github.com/arrayfire/forge https://git.sr.ht/~exec64/imv https://github.com/arrayfire/arrayfire

I'll experiment with using FreeImageRe for the Flathub package:
