QID 995811: GO (Go) Security Update for golang.org/x/image (GHSA-x92r-3vfx-4cv3)

The TIFF decoder does not place a limit on the size of compressed tile data. A maliciously-crafted image can exploit this to cause a small image (both in terms of pixel width/height, and encoded size) to make the decoder decode large amounts of compressed data, consuming excessive memory and CPU.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could lead to a security breach or could affect integrity, availability, and confidentiality.
