CVE-2017-9207
The iw_get_ui16be function in imagew-util.c:422:24 in libimageworsener.a in ImageWorsener 1.3.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer over-read) via a crafted image, related to imagew-jpeg.c.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.58%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
