Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

Several issues have been found in exiv2, a EXIF/IPTC/XMP metadata manipulation tool.

CVE-2018-17581 A stack overflow due to a recursive function call causing excessive stack consumption which leads to denial of service.

CVE-2018-19107 A heap based buffer over-read caused by an integer overflow could result in a denial of service via a crafted file.

CVE-2018-19108 There seems to be an infinite loop inside a function that can be activated by a crafted image.

We recommend that you upgrade your exiv2 packages.
