CVE-2026-8813 PUBLISHED

Assigner: snyk
Reserved: 18.05.2026 Published: 19.05.2026 Updated: 19.05.2026

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.
