3) Infinite loop (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-20099)

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

There is an infinite loop in Exiv2::Jp2Image::encodeJp2Header of jp2image.cpp in Exiv2 0.27-RC3. A crafted input will lead to a remote denial of service attack.


4) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-19607)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a NULL pointer dereference error. A remote attacker can trigger denial of service conditions via a crafted file.
