medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 415045
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. An out-of-bounds read was found in Exiv2 version v0.28.1. The vulnerable function,
`QuickTimeVideo::NikonTagsDecoder`, was new in v0.28.0, so Exiv2 versions before v0.28 are _not_ affected.
The out-of-bounds read is triggered when Exiv2 is used to read the metadata of a crafted video file. In
most cases this out of bounds read will result in a crash. This bug is fixed in version v0.28.2. Users are
advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability. (CVE-2024-24826)
