NVD Description

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

An issue was discovered in Exempi before 2.4.3. The VPXChunk class in XMPFiles/source/FormatSupport/WEBP_Support.cpp does not ensure nonzero widths and heights, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (assertion failure and application exit) via a crafted .webp file.
