CVE-2019-15142

In DjVuLibre 3.5.27, DjVmDir.cpp in the DJVU reader component allows attackers to cause a denial-of-service (application crash in GStringRep::strdup in libdjvu/GString.cpp caused by a heap-based buffer over-read) by crafting a DJVU file.

Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.85%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
