Description

A heap overflow vulnerability was found in the Exiv2 library. In affected versions, the issue is triggered when Exiv2 is used to write metadata into a crafted image file. This could allow an attacker to execute code if they can trick the victim into running Exiv2 on a crafted image file. Note that this bug is only triggered when writing the metadata, which is a less frequently used Exiv2 operation than reading the metadata.
