Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

Affected: the Go package github.com/imgproxy/imgproxy/v3, versions 3.3.0 up to 4.0.17 (fixed in 4.0.17). An out-of-bounds heap write in the ICO image loader lets an attacker who supplies a crafted ICO image crash the imgproxy worker process, causing denial of service. Upgrade to version 4.0.17 or later; the source lists no workaround.
