In Libsixel prior to and including v1.10.3, a NULL pointer dereference in the stb_image.h component of libsixel allows attackers to cause a denial of service (DOS) via a crafted PICT file.
A NULL pointer dereference occurs when the application dereferences a pointer that it expects to be valid, but is NULL, typically causing a crash or exit.
