**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Exiv2 version 0.26
**Description**
The issue is related to the Exiv2::IptcParser::decode function in the iptc.cpp file, which may cause a denial of service due to a heap-based buffer over-read. This is caused by an integer overflow when processing a crafted PSD image file. The vulnerability can be exploited by a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.
**Recommendations**
For Exiv2 version 0.26, consider avoiding the use of the `Exiv2::IptcParser::decode` function when processing PSD image files until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, restrict the processing of PSD files to minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
