CVE-2018-7998 is fixed in 4 products on 1 platform, first by gir1.2-vips-8.0 8.4.5-1ubuntu0.1~esm1, released July 15, 2021. It is not reported as exploited. Patch Radar priority: Routine.
In libvips before 8.6.3, a NULL function pointer dereference vulnerability was found in the vips_region_generate function in region.c, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted image file. This occurs because of a race condition involving a failed delayed load and other worker threads.
