Is Liftoff safe regarding the libwebp exploit? (lemmy.world)

I recently saw an article (https://stackdiary.com/heap-buffer-overflow-in-libwebp-cve-2023-5129/) that said WEBP images could be a huge security hole right now and I know Lemmy uses a lot of WEBP images.

I'm not sure how long this has been known, so maybe the Liftoff devs already took care of it. Does anyone know if Liftoff has already made the necessary patches?

Oh that's interesting. I thought it would be through the app, since the article mentioned being patched in browsers; so that's definitely good to know.
