NVD Description

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

Thumbor is an open-source photo thumbnail service by globo.com. Prior to 7.8.0, Thumbor's filters:proportion(<value>) filter does not enforce an upper bound on <value> and runs in the post-transform phase. An attacker can trigger extremely large resizes (CPU/memory exhaustion) and cause denial of service. This issue is fixed in 7.8.0.
