Descriptions

In libvips before 8.6.3, a NULL function pointer dereference vulnerability was found in the vips_region_generate function in region.c, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted image file. This occurs because of a race condition involving a failed delayed load and other worker threads.

En libvips, en versiones anteriores a la 8.6.3, se ha encontrado una vulnerabilidad de desreferencia de puntero de función NULL en la función rvips_region_generate en region.c. Esto permite que atacantes remotos provoquen una denegación de servicio (DoS) u otro tipo de impacto sin especificar mediante un archivo de imagen manipulado. Esto ocurre debido a una condición de carrera relacionada con una carga aplazada fallida y otros subprocesos de trabajo.
