-- '''Sorry to say, childs, but dangerous-JPEG is an old urban legend.''' The https://www.cvedetails.com/cve/CVE-2004-0200 was in 2004 and was caused by '''a bug in MS Windows''' (GDI+), not that it was JPEG. But I understand - '''some people's ass is on fire because they are afraid of exploits from 2004.''' I would advise you to drink a glass of water, switch from MS Windows 98 to MS Windows 11, install all updates and anti-virus program other than Kaspersky. And take the pills prescribed by your doctor regularly. |

'''In fact, every link - and even the image of the Rosseta stone displayed on the Rosseta Code website - could be ... oh yo oh ah - terrible and terrible CVE. Fear and terror, terror and hiccups. We should all be dead.''' |

'''But every day we somehow open thousands of jpegs on websites and we live? Strange isn't it?''' |

The real problem with jpegs is that they can contain obscene, shocking content. |
