Exiv2 has an out-of-bounds read in QuickTimeVideo::NikonTagsDecoder
Packages
Details
As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).
### 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.
