A flaw in libjpeg-turbo was reported [1],[2],[3] that could lead to a local denial of service when processing a specially-crafted JPEG issue. One of the reports indicate that this only affects versions of libjpeg-turbo prior to 1.3.1 due to 1.3.1 rejecting the malformed image due to duplicate SOI markers. Upstream has fixes for this issue [4],[5]. Also refer to the upstream bug [6].
