Overview

thumbor is a thumbor is an open-source photo thumbnail service by globo.com

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Division by zero via the convolution filter process in the C extension when user-controlled input is used as a divisor without validation. An attacker can cause the process to crash and disrupt service by supplying a crafted value that triggers a divide-by-zero error. This is only exploitable if the convolution filter is enabled (enabled by default), and either /unsafe/ URLs are allowed or the attacker has access to a valid signed URL.
