In Exiv2 0.26, there is a segmentation fault caused by uncontrolled recursion in the Exiv2::Image::printIFDStructure function in the image.cpp file. Remote attackers could leverage this vulnerability to cause a denial of service via a crafted tif file.

The remote SUSE Linux SLED15 / SLED_SAP15 / SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2022:3598-1 advisory.

  - In Exiv2 0.26, there is a segmentation fault caused by uncontrolled recursion in the     Exiv2::Image::printIFDStructure function in the image.cpp file. Remote attackers could leverage this     vulnerability to cause a denial of service via a crafted tif file. (CVE-2018-5772)

  - In Exiv2 0.26, jpgimage.cpp allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (image.cpp     Exiv2::Internal::stringFormat out-of-bounds read) via a crafted file. (CVE-2018-8976)

  - In Exiv2 0.26, the Exiv2::Internal::printCsLensFFFF function in canonmn_int.cpp allows remote attackers to     cause a denial of service (invalid memory access) via a crafted file. (CVE-2018-8977)

  - The tEXtToDataBuf function in pngimage.cpp in Exiv2 through 0.26 allows remote attackers to cause a denial     of service (application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted file.
    (CVE-2018-10772)

  - There is an infinite loop in the Exiv2::Image::printIFDStructure function of image.cpp in Exiv2 0.27-RC1.
    A crafted input will lead to a remote denial of service attack. (CVE-2018-18915)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
