CVE-2017-12920

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions libfpx version 1.3.1 p6

Description The issue allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, specifically a NULL pointer dereference, by providing a crafted fpx image. This is due to a problem in the CDirectory::GetDirEntry function in dir.cxx.

Recommendations For libfpx version 1.3.1 p6, consider avoiding the use of the CDirectory::GetDirEntry function until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, restrict the processing of fpx images from untrusted sources to minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this issue.
