SCA: security update for exiv2 (GHSA-crmj-qh74-2r36)
medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 414075
Description
There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:- Exiv2 is a command-line utility and C++ library for reading, writing, deleting, and modifying the metadata
of image files. A denial-of-service was found in Exiv2 version v0.28.1: an unbounded recursion can cause
Exiv2 to crash by exhausting the stack. The vulnerable function, `QuickTimeVideo::multipleEntriesDecoder`,
was new in v0.28.0, so Exiv2 versions before v0.28 are _not_ affected. The denial-of-service is triggered
when Exiv2 is used to read the metadata of a crafted video file. This bug is fixed in version v0.28.2.
Users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability. (CVE-2024-25112)
