What to do

  1. See which version you have: cargo tree -i imageproc (it also shows which of your dependencies pulls it in).
  2. Update within your version requirement: cargo update -p imageproc. If the fix is a newer major or minor than your requirement allows, raise it in Cargo.toml (for example imageproc = "0.26.2") or update the dependency that pulls it in.
  3. Check again with cargo audit, or paste your Cargo.lock into our Cargo.toml checker.

Details from the advisory

A read of pixels was coded as modifying coordinates to lie within the image bounds. It would calculate a coordinate by adding a constant to an input and taking the minimum of the resulting coordinate and 'dimension - 1'. This would not protect against malicious inputs that could overflow the addition. . Subsequently to the tricked bounds check the image could then be sampled at multiple, differently calculated coordinates exceeding the bounds.
