Exiv2 · Exiv2 · CVE-2026-27596
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Exiv2 versions prior to 0.28.8
**Description**
Exiv2 is a C++ library and a command-line utility used to read, write, delete, and modify image metadata formats like Exif, IPTC, XMP, and ICC. A flaw exists in the preview component that can lead to an out-of-bounds read when Exiv2 is executed with an additional command-line argument, such as `-pp`. This out-of-bounds read occurs at a 4GB offset, typically resulting in a crash of the Exiv2 application. The `LoaderNative::getData()` function is implicated in this issue.
**Recommendations**
Versions prior to 0.28.8 should be updated to version 0.28.8 or later.
