CyberRota Analysis

AI-Generated

Imager versions prior to 1.033 for Perl are vulnerable due to improper handling of large EXIF IFD entry counts, which are incorrectly treated as signed integers. This flaw can lead to a denial-of-service condition by causing the application to attempt to allocate excessive memory, resulting in process termination. Organizations using affected versions should prioritize patching to mitigate potential disruptions from crafted image files.

Original NVD Description

Imager versions before 1.033 for Perl treat unsigned EXIF IFD entry counts as signed. Imager mishandled large EXIF IFD entry count values, treating them as negative numbers. This could lead to an attempt to allocate a block nearly the size of the address space, which fails and kills the process. An attacker could craft an image with EXIF data that terminates a worker process.
