The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201811-14 (Exiv2: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Exiv2. Please review       the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
  Impact :

    A remote attacker could cause a Denial of Service condition or obtain       sensitive information via a specially crafted file.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

A vulnerability has been discovered in exiv2 (CVE-2018-16336), a C++ library and a command line utility to manage image metadata, resulting in remote denial of service (heap-based buffer over-read/overflow) via a crafted image file.

Additionally, this update includes a minor change to the patch for the CVE-2018-10958/CVE-2018-10999 vulnerability first addressed in DLA 1402-1. The initial patch was overly restrictive and has been adjusted to remove the excessive restriction.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', these problems have been fixed in version 0.24-4.1+deb8u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your exiv2 packages.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
