Our Official Summary
This vulnerability is reported on some 3rd party images used by our products. This flaw results from a lack of proper bounds checking during input processing. By exploiting this boundary error, an attacker can create a malicious file, deceive the victim into opening it using the affected software, and initiate an out-of-bounds write, potentially impacting system availability. We are waiting on an upstream fix from the 3rd party vendor. We will upgrade the images once the upstream fix becomes available.
