Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Exiv2 version 0.26
Description The issue is caused by uncontrolled recursion in the Exiv2::Image::printIFDStructure function, located in the image.cpp file. This can be exploited by remote attackers to cause a denial of service using a crafted tif file.
Recommendations For Exiv2 version 0.26, consider restricting the use of the Exiv2::Image::printIFDStructure function until a patch is available to prevent potential denial of service attacks via crafted tif files. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
