Description

Heap-based buffer overflow in zgv before 5.8 and xzgv before 0.8 might allow user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary code via a JPEG image with more than 3 output components, such as a CMYK or YCCK color space, which causes less memory to be allocated than required.

Solution(s)

With Rapid7 live dashboards, I have a clear view of all the assets on my network, which ones can be exploited, and what I need to do in order to reduce the risk in my environment in real-time. No other tool gives us that kind of value and insight.
