Vulnerability details
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.
The weakness exists due to a large loop in the ReadDPXImage function in coders\dpx.c. A remote attacker can trick the victim into opening a specially crafted DPX file, trigger CPU exhaustion, related to lack of an EOF check and cause the application to crash.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability results in denial of service.
