I noted that the bug was in a library and, with static linking, in a lot of other programs. Well, a new, more comprehensive CVE has been released, two weeks late. <https://arstechnica.com/security/2023/09/google-quietly-corrects-previously-submitted-disclosure-for-critical-webp-0-day/> Since it is a "0-day" (i.e. already exploited in the real world), it is urgent that you update. Again. But we don't know when new versions of each affected program will be released.
