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 Exiv2 versions v0.27.4 and earlier. The out-of-bounds read is triggered when Exiv2 is used to print the metadata of a crafted image file. An attacker could potentially exploit the vulnerability to cause a denial of service, if they can trick the victim into running Exiv2 on a crafted image file. Note that this bug is only triggered when printing the image ICC profile, which is a less frequently used Exiv2 operation that requires an extra command line option (-p C). The bug is fixed in version v0.27.5.

A flaw was found in Exiv2 0.26. There is a integer underflow, leading to a heap-based buffer over-read, in the Exiv2::IptcData::printStructure function in iptc.cpp. Remote attackers can exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service via a crafted TIFF file or, possibly, disclose memory data.
