CVE-2019-15144
In DjVuLibre 3.5.27, the sorting functionality (aka GArrayTemplate<TYPE>::sort) allows attackers to cause a denial-of-service (application crash due to an Uncontrolled Recursion) by crafting a PBM image file that is mishandled in libdjvu/GContainer.h.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.77%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
