What is CVE-2018-16554?

The ProcessGpsInfo function in the gpsinfo.c file of jhead version 3.00 contains a vulnerability that enables a remote attacker to induce a denial-of-service condition. This can be exploited through a specially crafted JPEG file, which triggers an inconsistency between float and double data types when handling TAG_GPS_ALT in the sprintf function. This inconsistency can lead to unexpected behavior and potential crashes of the application.
