There is a heap-based buffer overflow in basicio.cpp of Exiv2 0.26. The vulnerability causes an out-of-bounds write in Exiv2::Image::printIFDStructure(), which may lead to remote denial of service or possibly unspecified other impact.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - exiv2: integer overflow in the LoaderExifJpeg class in preview.cpp (CVE-2018-12265)

  - Buffer overflow in the RiffVideo::infoTagsHandler function in riffvideo.cpp in Exiv2 0.24 allows remote     attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a long IKEY INFO tag value in an AVI file.
    (CVE-2014-9449)

  - exiv2 0.26 contains a Stack out of bounds read in webp parser (CVE-2017-1000126)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.
