NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream djvulibre package and not the djvulibre package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

In DjVuLibre 3.5.27, the sorting functionality (aka GArrayTemplate<TYPE>::sort) allows attackers to cause a denial-of-service (application crash due to an Uncontrolled Recursion) by crafting a PBM image file that is mishandled in libdjvu/GContainer.h.
