CVE-2006-3005: Gentoo Linux

Medium severity, CVSS 5.0. EPSS: 1.9% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The JPEG library in media-libs/jpeg before 6b-r7 on Gentoo Linux is built without the -maxmem feature, which could allow context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (memory exhaustion) via a crafted JPEG file that exceeds the intended memory limits.

Affected products

• Gentoo Linux: any version
• Gentoo Media-Libs Jpeg: version 6b only
