NVD Description

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

When reading a specially crafted JPEG file, metadata-extractor up to 2.16.0 can be made to allocate large amounts of memory that finally leads to an out-of-memory error even for very small inputs. This could be used to mount a denial of service attack against services that use metadata-extractor library.
