Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Out-of-bounds Read via the readWriteEpsMetadata function in the epsimage.cpp file. An attacker can cause a crash by tricking a user into processing a specially crafted EPS file.

Note: This is only exploitable if metadata is being written to the file.
