    CVE-2019-6976
    Aliases:
    USN-6437-1

    Summary:

    Details: 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.
