Until a fix is available, avoid processing untrusted XBIN files with vulnerable libansilove versions.
Description
libansilove versions through 1.4.2 contain an out-of-bounds read vulnerability in the ansilove_xbin() function. This flaw arises from missing bounds checks for compressed run-length records in XBIN files, allowing crafted inputs to read past the input buffer and crash applications rendering untrusted XBIN art.
