AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: media-libs/jpeg versions prior to 6b-r7

Description: The issue concerns the JPEG library in media-libs/jpeg, which is built without the -maxmem feature. This could allow attackers to cause a denial of service (memory exhaustion) via a crafted JPEG file that exceeds the intended memory limits. The exploitation of this issue can be done remotely.

Recommendations: For versions prior to 6b-r7, update to version 6b-r7 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the processing of JPEG files from untrusted sources to minimize the risk of exploitation.
