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

The vulnerability exists due to improper filtering of the TIOCSTI ioctl on 64-bit systems. A remote attacker can compromise the thumbnailer and escape the bubblewrap sandbox used to confine thumbnailers by using the TIOCSTI ioctl to push characters into the input buffer of the thumbnailer's controlling terminal.
