Описание
Exiv2 is a C++ library and a command-line utility to read, write, delete and modify Exif, IPTC, XMP and ICC image metadata. Prior to version 0.28.8, an uncaught exception was found in Exiv2. The vulnerability is in the preview component, which is only triggered when running Exiv2 with an extra command line argument, like -pp. Due to an integer overflow, the code attempts to create a huge std::vector, which causes Exiv2 to crash with an uncaught exception. This issue has been patched in version 0.28.8.
A flaw was found in Exiv2, a C++ library and command-line utility used for managing image metadata. This vulnerability, an integer overflow, exists within the preview component. When Exiv2 is executed with a specific command-line argument, such as -pp, a malicious input can cause the application to attempt to allocate an extremely large amount of memory. This leads to an uncaught exception, resulting in the application crashing and causing a denial of service.
Отчет
This LOW impact vulnerability in Exiv2 is triggered only when the command-line utility is executed with the -pp argument, which enables the preview component. Exploitation requires explicit user action and is not a default exposure in Red Hat products.
