Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions ImageWorsener version 1.3.1
Description The issue allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, specifically an infinite loop, by providing a crafted image. This is due to a problem in the my skip input data fn function in imagew-jpeg.c in libimageworsener.a.
Recommendations For ImageWorsener version 1.3.1, consider restricting the use of the my skip input data fn function until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, avoid processing untrusted or crafted images to minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this issue.
