In testing/unstable, I believe this only affects -ports architectures:
gdk-pixbuf >= 2.44.5+dfsg-3 loads most image formats using glycin rather
than its own C code. (Exceptions: .xpm, .xbm still use C code because
the equivalent Rust code in glycin was not feature-complete until
recently.)
trixie is still affected. I am not aware of a patch being available.
