There is a heap-based buffer overflow in the Exiv2::us2Data function of types.cpp in Exiv2 0.26. A Crafted input will lead to a denial of service attack.

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.

According to the versions of the exiv2 package installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - Exiv2::Internal::PngChunk::parseTXTChunk in Exiv2 v0.26     allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service     (heap-based buffer over-read) via a crafted image file,     a different vulnerability than     CVE-2018-10999.(CVE-2018-16336)

  - The Exiv2::Jp2Image::readMetadata function in     jp2image.cpp in Exiv2 0.26 allows remote attackers to     cause a denial of service (excessive memory allocation)     via a crafted file.(CVE-2018-4868)

  - In Exiv2 before v0.27.2, there is an integer overflow     vulnerability in the WebPImage::getHeaderOffset     function in webpimage.cpp. It can lead to a buffer     overflow vulnerability and a crash.(CVE-2019-14982)

  - There is a reachable assertion in the     Internal::TiffReader::visitDirectory function in     tiffvisitor.cpp of Exiv2 0.26 that will lead to a     remote denial of service attack via crafted     input.(CVE-2017-11683)

  - An Invalid memory address dereference was discovered in     Exiv2::StringValueBase::read in value.cpp in Exiv2     0.26. The vulnerability causes a segmentation fault and     application crash, which leads to denial of     service.(CVE-2017-14859)

  - An Invalid memory address dereference was discovered in     Exiv2::DataValue::read in value.cpp in Exiv2 0.26. The     vulnerability causes a segmentation fault and     application crash, which leads to denial of     service.(CVE-2017-14862)

  - An Invalid memory address dereference was discovered in     Exiv2::getULong in types.cpp in Exiv2 0.26. The     vulnerability causes a segmentation fault and     application crash, which leads to denial of     service.(CVE-2017-14864)

  - There is a heap-based buffer overflow in the     Exiv2::us2Data function of types.cpp in Exiv2 0.26. A     Crafted input will lead to a denial of service     attack.(CVE-2017-14865)

  - There is a heap-based buffer over-read in the     Exiv2::Internal::PngChunk::keyTXTChunk function of     pngchunk_int.cpp in Exiv2 0.26. A crafted PNG file will     lead to a remote denial of service     attack.(CVE-2017-17669)

  - Exiv2 0.26 has a Null Pointer Dereference in the     Exiv2::DataValue::toLong function in value.cpp, related     to crafted metadata in a TIFF file.(CVE-2017-18005)

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
