### Description

The restore_tqb_pixels function in libbpg 0.9.5 through 0.9.7 mishandles the transquant_bypass_enable_flag value, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds write) via a crafted BPG image, related to a "type confusion" issue.
