CVE-2026-53503
Thumbor is an open-source photo thumbnail service by globo.com. Prior to 7.8.0, Thumbor's filters:convolution(<matrix>, <columns>, <should_normalize>) filter passes the user-controlled <columns> value to a C extension (thumbor/ext/filters/_convolution.c) where it is used as a divisor (for % and /) without validating columns > 0. When columns=0, the C code triggers undefined behavior; on x86_64 this reliably results in a fatal divide-by-zero trap (SIGFPE) and crashes the Thumbor process, causing a remote denial of service. This issue is fixed in 7.8.0.
