Leptonica · Leptonica · CVE-2020-36277
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Leptonica versions prior to 1.80.0
**Description**
The issue is related to an incorrect left shift in the `pixConvert2To8` function in `pixconv.c`, which can cause a denial of service (application crash). This can be exploited by a remote attacker to disrupt service.
**Recommendations**
For versions prior to 1.80.0, update to version 1.80.0 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the `pixConvert2To8` function in `pixconv.c` to minimize the risk of exploitation.
