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.
