CVSS 3.1
5.0 mediumCVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:HCVE-2024-24826
Medium (5.0) in exiv2 exiv2. EPSS 0.2% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days. Fixed in exiv2 0.16.1.
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 version v0.28.1. The vulnerable function, `QuickTimeVideo::NikonTagsDecoder`, was new 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. In most cases this out of bounds read will result in a crash. This bug is fixed in version v0.28.2. Users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability.
