To fix the problem, we need to ensure that the multiplication is performed using a larger integer type to avoid overflow. This can be achieved by casting one of the operands to
longbefore performing the multiplication. This way, the multiplication will be done in thelongtype, which has a larger range and can accommodate larger values without overflow.Specifically, we will cast
heighttolongbefore the multiplication. This change will be made on line 3172 of the filesrc/image.c.Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix. Review carefully before merging.
