  - In Exiv2 0.27.99.0, there is an out-of-bounds read in Exiv2::MrwImage::readMetadata() in mrwimage.cpp. It     could result in denial of service. (CVE-2019-14370)

  - Exiv2 0.27.2 allows attackers to trigger a crash in Exiv2::getULong in types.cpp when called from     Exiv2::Internal::CiffDirectory::readDirectory in crwimage_int.cpp, because there is no validation of the     relationship of the total size to the offset and size. (CVE-2019-17402)

  - Exiv2 0.27.99.0 has a global buffer over-read in Exiv2::Internal::Nikon1MakerNote::print0x0088 in     nikonmn_int.cpp which can result in an information leak. (CVE-2020-18771)

  - 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. (CVE-2021-29458)

  - Exiv2 is a command-line utility and C++ library for reading, writing, deleting, and modifying the metadata     of image files. The assertion failure is triggered when Exiv2 is used to modify the metadata of a crafted     image file. An attacker could potentially exploit the vulnerability to cause a denial of service, if they     can trick the victim into running Exiv2 on a crafted image file. Note that this bug is only triggered when     modifying 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 `fi`. ### Patches The bug is fixed in version v0.27.5. ### References Regression test and     bug fix: #1739 ### For more information Please see our [security     policy](https://github.com/Exiv2/exiv2/security/policy) for information about Exiv2 security.

Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

It was discovered that there was an integer overflow vulnerability in exiv2, a tool to manipulate images containing (eg.) EXIF metadata.

This could have resulted in a denial of service via a specially- crafted file. 

For Debian 8 'Jessie', this issue has been fixed in exiv2 version 0.24-4.1+deb8u4.

We recommend that you upgrade your exiv2 packages.
