What is CVE-2019-6976?

The libvips image processing library has a vulnerability that occurs when handling corrupted input image data. Specifically, versions prior to 8.7.4 do not properly zero out allocated memory in the iofuncs/memory.c component. This oversight can lead to the exposure of sensitive information from uninitialized memory locations, potentially leaking raw data from the process through the output images. It's crucial for users to upgrade to version 8.7.4 or later to mitigate this risk.
