A denial-of-service was found in Exiv2 version 0.28.5: a quadratic algorithm in the ICC profile parsing code in jpegBase::readMetadata() can cause Exiv2 to run for a long time. The denial-of-service is triggered when Exiv2 is used to read the metadata of a crafted jpg image file. The bug is fixed in version 0.28.6.","cvss_v4":{"vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:A/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","score":1.8},"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","score":5.5},"cwes":["CWE-407"],"references":["https://github.com/Exiv2/exiv2/issues/3333","https://github.com/Exiv2/exiv2/pull/3335","https://github.com/Exiv2/exiv2/pull/3345","https://github.com/Exiv2/exiv2/security/advisories/GHSA-m54q-mm9w-fp6g"],"products":["exiv2:exiv2"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:07:46.309729541+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2025-55304","score":0.00244,"percentile":0.15403,"date":"2026-10-25"},"kev":null,"osv":[{"id":"GHSA-m54q-mm9w-fp6g","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-m54q-mm9w-fp6g","summary":"Exiv2 has quadratic performance in ICC profile parsing in JpegBase::readMetadata","modified":"2026-07-07T17:56:54.761170872Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"PyPI","name":"exiv2","purl":"pkg:pypi/exiv2","ranges":["<=0.17.3"],"fixed":[]}]},{"id":"PYSEC-2026-1355","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/PYSEC-2026-1355","summary":"Exiv2 has quadratic performance in ICC profile parsing in JpegBase::readMetadata","modified":"2026-07-07T17:47:35.885356250Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"PyPI","name":"exiv2","purl":"pkg:pypi/exiv2","ranges":["<=0.17.3"],"fixed":[]}]}],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
