Description Pedro Sampaio 2018-03-20 17:09:36 EDT
An issue was discovered in Exempi before 2.4.4. The TradQT_Manager::ParseCachedBoxes function in XMPFiles/source/FormatSupport/QuickTime_Support.cpp allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via crafted XMP data in a .qt file.

This issue did not affect the versions of Exempi as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 as they did not include the vulnerable code.
