Upgrade exifreader to version 4.41.1 or higher.
Overview
exifreader is a Library that parses Exif metadata in images.
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Infinite loop via a malformed ISO-BMFF iloc box in HEIC/AVIF files, parsed by parseItemLocationBox in src/image-header-iso-bmff-iloc.js. When the declared extentCount field in an iloc box is set to an arbitrarily large value, the parser allocates memory proportional to that declared count rather than the actual available input, causing excessive memory allocation and crashing the process.
