CVE-2017-11117
The ExifImageFile::readDHT function in ExifImageFileRead.cpp in OpenExif 2.1.4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer over-read and application crash) via a crafted jpg file.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.94%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
