CVE-2026-8813
HighSummary
The vulnerability affects versions of the exifreader package before 4.39.0. A crafted image containing an ICC mluc tag can set an attacker-controlled record count along with a zero record size, leading to excessive memory growth during parsing.
Risk Assessment
In applications that parse attacker-supplied images, this may lead to denial of service through memory exhaustion.
Recommendation
It is recommended to update the exifreader package to version 4.39.0 or later to mitigate this vulnerability.
Original NVD description (English source)
This affects versions of the package exifreader before 4.39.0. A crafted image containing an ICC mluc tag can set an attacker-controlled record count together with a zero record size. During parsing, ExifReader repeatedly processes the same record and appends entries to an array without sufficient bounds validation, causing excessive memory growth. In applications that parse attacker-supplied images, this may lead to denial of service through memory exhaustion.
