Exempi · Exempi · CVE-2017-18238
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Exempi versions prior to 2.4.4
**Description**
The issue is related to the `TradQT Manager::ParseCachedBoxes` function, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, potentially through an infinite loop or use-after-free error, via crafted XMP data in a .qt file.
**Recommendations**
For Exempi versions prior to 2.4.4, update to version 2.4.4 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the `TradQT Manager::ParseCachedBoxes` function until a patch is available. Avoid using crafted XMP data in .qt files to minimize the risk of exploitation.
