Cloudreve: Server crash through image decompression/pixel bomb in thumbnail & avatar decoding (DoS)

Assigner: GitHub_M

Cloudreve is a self-hosted file management and sharing system. Prior to 4.17.0, the built-in thumbnail and avatar image decoders limit compressed file size but do not limit decoded pixel dimensions, allowing an authenticated user to submit a small PNG, JPEG, or GIF that triggers an unbounded allocation and terminates the Cloudreve process through fatal out-of-memory behavior. This issue is fixed in version 4.17.0.
