Exiv2 is a C++ library and a command-line utility used to read, write, delete, and modify image metadata (Exif, IPTC, XMP, and ICC). A flaw exists in the preview component where an integer overflow can occur when the utility is run with an extra command-line argument, such as -pp. This overflow leads to an attempt to create an excessively large `std::vector`, resulting in an uncaught exception and causing Exiv2 to crash.
