Exiv2 is a command-line utility and C++ library for reading, writing, deleting, and modifying the metadata of image files. An infinite loop was found in Exiv2 versions v0.27.4 and earlier. The infinite loop is triggered when Exiv2 is used to print 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 printing the image ICC profile, which is a less frequently used Exiv2 operation that requires an extra command line option (`-p C`). The bug is fixed in version v0.27.5.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 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: buffer overflow in Exiv2::Internal::Nikon1MakerNote::print0x0088 in nikonmn_int.cpp     (CVE-2020-18771)

  - 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 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-2021-29470)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.

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

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.

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.

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 ESM / 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-5043-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that Exiv2 incorrectly handled certain image files. An attacker could possibly use this     issue to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2021-32815, CVE-2021-34334, CVE-2021-37620, CVE-2021-37622)

    It was discovered that Exiv2 incorrectly handled certain image files. An attacker could possibly use this     issue to cause a denial of service. These issues only affected Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and Ubuntu 21.04.
    (CVE-2021-34335, CVE-2021-37615, CVE-2021-37616, CVE-2021-37618, CVE-2021-37619, CVE-2021-37621,     CVE-2021-37623)
