CVE-2024-24826: Out-of-bounds read in QuickTimeVideo::NikonTagsDecoder in Exiv2

First published: Mon Feb 12 2024(Updated: )

### Impact An out-of-bounds read was found in Exiv2 version v0.28.1. The vulnerable function, `QuickTimeVideo::NikonTagsDecoder`, was new in v0.28.0 (see https://github.com/Exiv2/exiv2/pull/2337), so Exiv2 versions before v0.28 are _not_ affected. Exiv2 is a command-line utility and C++ library for reading, writing, deleting, and modifying the metadata of image files. The out-of-bounds read is triggered when Exiv2 is used to read the metadata of a crafted video file. ### Patches The bug is fixed in version v0.28.2. ### For more information Please see our [security policy](https://github.com/Exiv2/exiv2/security/policy) for information about Exiv2 security. ### Credit This bug was found by [OSS-Fuzz](https://github.com/google/oss-fuzz).
