Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Jhead version 3.06.0.1

Description The issue allows attackers to execute arbitrary OS commands by placing them in a JPEG filename and then using the regeneration -rgt50 option.

Recommendations For Jhead version 3.06.0.1, consider avoiding the use of the regeneration -rgt50 option with untrusted JPEG filenames until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, restrict the execution of OS commands from JPEG filenames to minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
