CVE-2024-25112

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. A denial-of-service was found in Exiv2, caused by an unbounded recursion that can cause Exiv2 to crash by exhausting the stack. The vulnerable function, QuickTimeVideo::multipleEntriesDecoder, was new in v0.28.0. The denial-of-service is triggered when Exiv2 is used to read the metadata of a crafted video file.

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