Exiv2: Denial of service A vulnerability in Exiv2 could lead to Denial of Service condition. exiv2 2015-07-07 2015-07-07 534608 remote 0.24-r1 0.24-r1

Exiv2 is a C++ library and a command line utility to manage image metadata.

Exiv2 has a buffer overflow in the RiffVideo::infoTagsHandler function in riffvideo.cpp.

A remote attacker could possibly cause a Denial of Service condition via a specially crafted AVI file with IKEY INFO tag.

There is no known workaround at this time.

All Exiv2 users should upgrade to the latest version:


      # emerge --sync
      # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-gfx/exiv2-0.24-r1"
