FreeBSD : exiv2 -- Out-of-bounds read in AsfVideo::streamProperties (3e44c35f-6cf4-11ef-b813-4ccc6adda413)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 206769

Language:

Synopsis

The remote FreeBSD host is missing one or more security-related updates.

Description

The version of FreeBSD installed on the remote host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the 3e44c35f-6cf4-11ef-b813-4ccc6adda413 advisory.

Kevin Backhouse reports:
An out-of-bounds read was found in Exiv2 version v0.28.2. The vulnerability is in the parser for the ASF video format, which was a new feature in v0.28.0, so Exiv2 versions before v0.28 are not affected. The out-of-bounds read is triggered when Exiv2 is used to read the metadata of a crafted video file.

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

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

Solution

Update the affected packages.
