Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Exiv2 version 0.26
Description
The issue is related to a denial of service caused by an out-of-bounds read in the
Exiv2::Internal::stringFormat function in image.cpp. This can be triggered by remote attackers using a specially crafted file, potentially leading to a service disruption. The vulnerability is associated with the jpgimage.cpp component of the Exiv2 library, which is used for managing media file metadata.Recommendations
For Exiv2 version 0.26, consider disabling the
jpgimage.cpp component or restricting its use until a patch is available to prevent potential exploitation. As a temporary workaround, avoid using crafted or untrusted image files to minimize the risk of triggering the denial of service. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.Exploit
