MediumMetricsAV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Dropbox lepton version 1.0
Description
The issue allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) via a crafted jpeg file. This is due to a problem in the setup imginfo jpg function in lepton/jpgcoder.cc.
Recommendations
For version 1.0, consider avoiding the use of the setup imginfo jpg function until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, restrict the processing of crafted jpeg files to minimize the risk of exploitation.
