| Vector | AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:C |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Exiv2 version 0.27.99.0
Description
The issue is related to a heap-based buffer over-read in the
Exiv2::PngImage::readMetadata() function, located in the pngimage.cpp component of the Exiv2 library. This can be exploited by attackers using a crafted image file, potentially leading to a denial of service. The vulnerability is associated with reading beyond the valid boundaries of a data buffer.Recommendations
For Exiv2 version 0.27.99.0, consider disabling the
Exiv2::PngImage::readMetadata() function as a temporary workaround until a patch is available. Restrict access to the pngimage.cpp component to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the affected library with untrusted image files until the issue is resolved. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.Exploit
