CVE-2024-24826

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Exiv2 versions v0.28.0 through v0.28.1

Description 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 the QuickTimeVideo::NikonTagsDecoder function, which 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.

Recommendations For Exiv2 versions v0.28.0 through v0.28.1, upgrade to version v0.28.2 to fix the bug. As a temporary workaround, consider avoiding the use of the QuickTimeVideo::NikonTagsDecoder function until a patch is available.
