Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
ImageWorsener version 1.3.0
Description
The issue allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service due to a stack-based buffer over-read. This occurs via a crafted file that exploits the read next pam token function in imagew-pnm.c in libimageworsener.a.
Recommendations
For ImageWorsener version 1.3.0, consider avoiding the use of crafted files that could trigger the buffer over-read in the read next pam token function until a patch is available. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this issue.
