Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Out-of-bounds Write through the LossyDctDecoder_execute process. An attacker can cause a crash or denial of service by providing a crafted scanline DWAA file that triggers an integer overflow, resulting in a heap out-of-bounds write during decoding.
