      "value": "libsixel is a SIXEL encoder/decoder implementation derived from kmiya's sixel. Versions 1.8.7 and prior contain a Use-After-Free vulnerability via the load_gif() function in fromgif.c, where a single sixel_frame_t object is reused across all frames of an animated GIF and gif_init_frame() unconditionally frees and reallocates frame->pixels between frames without consulting the object's reference count. Because the public API explicitly provides sixel_frame_ref() to retain a frame and sixel_frame_get_pixels() to access the raw pixel buffer, a callback following this documented usage pattern will hold a dangling pointer after the second frame is decoded, resulting in a heap use-after-free confirmed by ASAN. Any application using sixel_helper_load_image_file() with a multi-frame callback to process user-supplied animated GIFs is affected, with a reliable crash as the minimum impact and potential for code execution. This issue has been fixed in version 1.8.7-r1."

      "value": "libsixel es una implementación de codificador/decodificador SIXEL derivada de sixel de kmiya. Las versiones 1.8.7 y anteriores contienen una vulnerabilidad de uso después de liberación a través de la función load_gif() en fromgif.c, donde un único objeto sixel_frame_t se reutiliza en todos los fotogramas de un GIF animado y gif_init_frame() libera y reasigna incondicionalmente frame -> pixels entre fotogramas sin consultar el contador de referencias del objeto. Debido a que la API pública proporciona explícitamente sixel_frame_ref() para retener un fotograma y sixel_frame_get_pixels() para acceder al búfer de píxeles sin procesar, una devolución de llamada que siga este patrón de uso documentado mantendrá un puntero colgante después de que se decodifique el segundo fotograma, lo que resultará en un uso después de liberación en el heap confirmado por ASAN. Cualquier aplicación que utilice sixel_helper_load_image_file() con una devolución de llamada multifotograma para procesar GIFs animados proporcionados por el usuario se ve afectada, con un bloqueo fiable como el impacto mínimo y potencial de ejecución de código. Este problema ha sido solucionado en la versión 1.8.7-r1."
