CVE-2024-11498  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Alpine:3.21 libjxl to version 0.10.4-r0 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libjxl package and not the libjxl package as distributed by Alpine. See How to fix? for Alpine:3.21 relevant fixed versions and status.

There exists a stack buffer overflow in libjxl. A specifically-crafted file can cause the JPEG XL decoder to use large amounts of stack space (up to 256mb is possible, maybe 512mb), potentially exhausting the stack. An attacker can craft a file that will cause excessive memory usage. We recommend upgrading past commit 65fbec56bc578b6b6ee02a527be70787bbd053b0.
