Technical details
The MSL decoder contains an uncontrolled recursion vulnerability caused by an incorrect depth check that fails to limit how deeply the decoder can recurse when processing nested MSL structures. An attacker supplying a crafted MSL image can trigger unbounded recursion that exhausts the stack, crashing the process. The fix corrects the depth-checking logic to properly prevent excessive recursion.
