  • What steps could someone else take to reproduce the issue you’re having?
    Upload the image https://cruftbusters.com/morrison-co.jpeg to Ghost. Ghost doesn’t crash against all JPEGs but I have a few images that do.

This could be an issue with the version of Node you are running. Could you run the node -v in your command line a reply with the output?

Hi ericalli. Here’s the output

$ node -v
v12.16.2
$ npm -v
6.14.4

Just tried on a new host and new OS. The broken behavior is on CentOS

$ hostnamectl
   Static hostname: -
         Icon name: computer-vm
           Chassis: vm
        Machine ID: -
           Boot ID: -
    Virtualization: kvm
  Operating System: CentOS Linux 8 (Core)
       CPE OS Name: cpe:/o:centos:centos:8
            Kernel: Linux 4.18.0-147.5.1.el8_1.x86_64
      Architecture: x86-64
$ docker -v
Docker version 19.03.8, build afacb8b

Works fine in Debian 10, same Docker build and Ghost image…

$ hostnamectl
   Static hostname: -
         Icon name: computer-vm
           Chassis: vm
        Machine ID: -
           Boot ID: -
    Virtualization: kvm
  Operating System: Debian GNU/Linux 10 (buster)
            Kernel: Linux 4.19.0-8-cloud-amd64
      Architecture: x86-64
$ docker -v
Docker version 19.03.8, build afacb8b7f0

Probably not Ghost’s problem. Closing this post but I’m glad to document further or answer questions if someone else runs into this issue.
