7.8
High
| Vector | AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:C |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Exiv2 versions prior to 0.27.2
Description
The issue is related to insufficient input validation in the Exiv2 library for managing media file metadata. An attacker can exploit this by using a specially crafted CRW image file, potentially leading to a denial of service (crash due to assertion failure). The estimated number of potentially affected devices worldwide is not specified. There is no information about real-world incidents where this issue was exploited.
Recommendations
For Exiv2 versions prior to 0.27.2, update to version 0.27.2 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of CRW image files until a patch is available. Avoid using the Exiv2 library with untrusted input data to minimize the risk of exploitation.
