Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Heap-based Buffer Overflow in the fetch_jpg function. An attacker can execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service by sending a JPEG stream with a Content-Length value exceeding 65535, which wraps around and results in a heap buffer overflow due to insufficient buffer allocation.
