Application crash via oversized malformed JPG
Published Mar 21, 2026 · Updated Mar 21, 2026
Denial of service in CEWE Fotoimporter 6.4.3 allows local users to crash the application by importing a crafted JPG file. The image-import workflow accepts a 500,000-byte non-JPEG buffer as a .jpg file and processes it after the import sequence is selected. The attacker must place the file on the host and trigger that sequence; the demonstrated consequence is an application crash on Windows 10.
