CVE-2017-9206

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 a heap-based buffer over-read, by providing a crafted image. This is related to the handling of JPEG images.

Recommendations For ImageWorsener version 1.3.1, consider restricting the processing of crafted images to prevent the denial of service until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, avoid using the iw get ui16le function in imagew-util.c until the issue is resolved. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this issue.
