Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
golang.org/x/image versions before 0.18.0 are affected. A corrupt or malicious image with invalid color indices can cause a panic when parsed, so an attacker who can supply an image for the program to parse can crash it. The source gives few details beyond this. Upgrade to golang.org/x/image 0.18.0 or later.
