Thanks for the sec bump.

This comment is valid also for other similar bugs. I don't know who is assigning the CVEs in the last time, but at the time I was active in fuzzing research I learned that READ overflow in command line tool were considered an inconvenience https://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2016/09/09/11 (In reply to Agostino Sarubbo from comment #3) > (In reply to John Helmert III from comment #0) > > CVE-2023-27781: > > > > jpegoptim v1.5.2 was discovered to contain a heap overflow in the optimize > > function at jpegoptim.c. > > > > Needs bump to 1.5.3. > > This comment is valid also for other similar bugs.

An OOB read that results in a graceful exit is different than an OOB read that triggers a segfault is different than an OOB read into a function pointer with an easily groomable heap which gives you control flow. It seems like they were just telling you that they thought issues were definitely not the latter? It's interesting that MITRE said that to you but now issues CVEs for anything. Regardless, it's reasonable for us (downstream) to track CVEs generally without being opinionated about whether we track various CVEs.
