A buffer overflow vulnerability in the Databuf function in types.cpp of Exiv2 v0.27.1 leads to a denial of service (DOS).

This plugin has been deprecated as it does not adhere to established standards for this style of check.

The remote Debian 10 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dla-3186 advisory.

  - 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)

  - A buffer overflow vulnerability in the Databuf function in types.cpp of Exiv2 v0.27.1 leads to a denial of     service (DOS). (CVE-2020-19716)

  - A vulnerability was found in Exiv2. It has been classified as critical. Affected is the function     QuickTimeVideo::userDataDecoder of the file quicktimevideo.cpp of the component QuickTime Video Handler.
    The manipulation leads to integer overflow. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. The name of the     patch is bf4f28b727bdedbd7c88179c30d360e54568a62e. It is recommended to apply a patch to fix this issue.
    The identifier of this vulnerability is VDB-212496. (CVE-2022-3756)

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

The remote SUSE Linux SLED15 / SLED_SAP15 / SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 / openSUSE 15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2022:3889-1 advisory.

  - Exiv2 0.26 contains a stack out of bounds read in JPEG2000 parser (CVE-2017-1000128)

  - An integer overflow in Exiv2 through 0.27.1 allows an attacker to cause a denial of service (SIGSEGV) via     a crafted PNG image file, because PngImage::readMetadata mishandles a zero value for iccOffset.
    (CVE-2019-13108)

  - A WebPImage::decodeChunks integer overflow in Exiv2 through 0.27.1 allows an attacker to cause a denial of     service (large heap allocation followed by a very long running loop) via a crafted WEBP image file.
    (CVE-2019-13111)

  - A buffer overflow vulnerability in the Databuf function in types.cpp of Exiv2 v0.27.1 leads to a denial of     service (DOS). (CVE-2020-19716)

  - 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)

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

  - A stack exhaustion issue in the printIFDStructure function of Exiv2 0.27 allows remote attackers to cause     a denial of service (DOS) via a crafted file. (CVE-2020-18898)

  - A buffer overflow vulnerability in the Databuf function in types.cpp of Exiv2 v0.27.1 leads to a denial of     service (DOS). (CVE-2020-19716)
