The following vulnerability was published for libstb.

CVE-2021-45340[0]:
| 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.

The CVE while specifically assigned to libsixed is in the bundled
libstb, so we track this CVE as well for src:libstb. The patch in
libstb itself is missing.
