CVE-2021-42715

An attacker could potentially have caused denial of service in applications using stb_image by submitting crafted HDR files.

MEDIUM 5.5EPSS 1.30%

Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.30%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

An issue was discovered in stb stb_image.h 1.33 through 2.27. The HDR loader parsed truncated end-of-file RLE scanlines as an infinite sequence of zero-length runs. An attacker could potentially have caused denial of service in applications using stb_image by submitting crafted HDR files.
