Description Gianluca Gabrielli 2021-05-11 13:00:18 UTC
CVE-2021-29463

Exiv2 is a command-line utility and C++ library for reading, writing, deleting,
and modifying the metadata of image files. An out-of-bounds read was found in
Exiv2 versions v0.27.3 and earlier. The out-of-bounds read is triggered when
Exiv2 is used to write metadata into a crafted image file. An attacker could
potentially exploit the vulnerability to cause a denial of service by crashing
Exiv2, if they can trick the victim into running Exiv2 on a crafted image file.
Note that this bug is only triggered when writing the metadata, which is a less
frequently used Exiv2 operation than reading the metadata. For example, to
trigger the bug in the Exiv2 command-line application, you need to add an extra
command-line argument such as `insert`. The bug is fixed in version v0.27.4.
