  - Exiv2 is a command-line utility and C++ library for reading, writing, deleting, and modifying the metadata     of image files. A heap buffer overflow was found in Exiv2 versions v0.27.3 and earlier. The heap overflow     is triggered when Exiv2 is used to write metadata into a crafted image file. An attacker could potentially     exploit the vulnerability to gain code execution, 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-2021-29457)

    For detailed information on changes in this release, see the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.2 Release Notes     linked from the References section.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux security advisory.

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

According to the version of the exiv2 packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerability :

  - A command line utility to access image metadata,     allowing one to: * print the Exif metadata of Jpeg     images as summary info, interpreted values, or the     plain data for each tag * print the Iptc metadata of     Jpeg images * print the Jpeg comment of Jpeg images *     set, add and delete Exif and Iptc metadata of Jpeg     images * adjust the Exif timestamp (that's how it all     started...) * rename Exif image files according to the     Exif timestamp * extract, insert and delete Exif     metadata (including thumbnails),Iptc metadata and Jpeg     commentsSecurity Fix(es):In Jp2Image::readMetadata() in     jp2image.cpp in Exiv2 0.27.2, an input file can result     in an infinite loop and hang, with high CPU     consumption. Remote attackers could leverage this     vulnerability to cause a denial of service via a     crafted file.(CVE-2019-20421)

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.

This update for exiv2 fixes the following issues :

CVE-2018-17581: Fixed an excessive stack consumption in CiffDirectory:readDirectory() which might have led to denial of service (bsc#1110282).

CVE-2019-13110: Fixed an integer overflow and an out of bounds read in CiffDirectory:readDirectory which might have led to denial of service (bsc#1142678).

CVE-2019-13113: Fixed a potential denial of service via an invalid data location in a CRW image (bsc#1142683).

CVE-2019-17402: Fixed an improper validation of the relationship of the total size to the offset and size in Exiv2::getULong (bsc#1153577).

CVE-2019-20421: Fixed an infinite loop triggered via an input file (bsc#1161901).

CVE-2017-9239: Fixed a segmentation fault in TiffImageEntry::doWriteImage function (bsc#1040973).

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

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-4270-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that Exiv2 incorrectly handled certain images. An attacker could possibly use this issue     to cause a denial of service.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

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