CVE-2024-9029  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

There is no fixed version for Debian:unstable freeimage.

NVD Description

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

A flaw was found in the freeimage library. Processing a crafted image can cause a buffer over-read of 1 byte in the read_iptc_profile function in the Source/Metadata/IPTC.cpp file because the size of the profile is not being sanitized, causing a crash in the application linked to the library, resulting in a denial of service.
