MEDIUM 5.5EPSS 0.73%
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.73%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
When reading a specially crafted JPEG file, metadata-extractor up to 2.16.0 can be made to allocate large amounts of memory that finally leads to an out-of-memory error even for very small inputs. This could be used to mount a denial of service attack against services that use metadata-extractor library.
