    This update fixes a number of memory access violations and other input     validation failures that can be triggered by passing specially crafted files to     exiv2.

    CVE-2017-11591

        There is a Floating point exception in the Exiv2::ValueType function that         will lead to a remote denial of service attack via crafted input.

    CVE-2017-14859

        An Invalid memory address dereference was discovered in         Exiv2::StringValueBase::read in value.cpp. The vulnerability causes a         segmentation fault and application crash, which leads to denial of service.

    CVE-2017-14862

        An Invalid memory address dereference was discovered in         Exiv2::DataValue::read in value.cpp. The vulnerability causes a         segmentation fault and application crash, which leads to denial of service.

    CVE-2017-14864

        An Invalid memory address dereference was discovered in Exiv2::getULong in         types.cpp. The vulnerability causes a segmentation fault and application         crash, which leads to denial of service.

    CVE-2017-17669

        There is a heap-based buffer over-read in the         Exiv2::Internal::PngChunk::keyTXTChunk function of pngchunk_int.cpp. A         crafted PNG file will lead to a remote denial of service attack.

    CVE-2017-18005

        Exiv2 has a Null Pointer Dereference in the Exiv2::DataValue::toLong         function in value.cpp, related to crafted metadata in a TIFF file.

    CVE-2018-8976

        jpgimage.cpp allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service         (image.cpp Exiv2::Internal::stringFormat out-of-bounds read) via a crafted         file.

    CVE-2018-17581

        CiffDirectory::readDirectory() at crwimage_int.cpp has excessive stack         consumption due to a recursive function, leading to Denial of service.

    CVE-2018-19107

        Exiv2::IptcParser::decode in iptc.cpp (called from psdimage.cpp in the PSD         image reader) may suffer from a denial of service (heap-based buffer         over-read) caused by an integer overflow via a crafted PSD image file.

    CVE-2018-19108

        Exiv2::PsdImage::readMetadata in psdimage.cpp in the PSD image reader may         suffer from a denial of service (infinite loop) caused by an integer         overflow via a crafted PSD image file.

    CVE-2018-19535

        PngChunk::readRawProfile in pngchunk_int.cpp may cause a denial of service         (application crash due to a heap-based buffer over-read) via a crafted PNG         file.

    CVE-2018-20097

        There is a SEGV in Exiv2::Internal::TiffParserWorker::findPrimaryGroups of         tiffimage_int.cpp. A crafted input will lead to a remote denial of service         attack.

    CVE-2019-13110

        A CiffDirectory::readDirectory integer overflow and out-of-bounds read         allows an attacker to cause a denial of service (SIGSEGV) via a crafted CRW         image file.

    CVE-2019-13112

        A PngChunk::parseChunkContent uncontrolled memory allocation allows an         attacker to cause a denial of service (crash due to an std::bad_alloc         exception) via a crafted PNG image file.

    CVE-2019-13114

        http.c allows a malicious http server to cause a denial of service (crash         due to a NULL pointer dereference) by returning a crafted response that         lacks a space character.

    CVE-2019-13504

        There is an out-of-bounds read in Exiv2::MrwImage::readMetadata in         mrwimage.cpp.

    CVE-2019-14369

        Exiv2::PngImage::readMetadata() in pngimage.cpp allows attackers to cause a         denial of service (heap-based buffer over- read) via a crafted image file.

    CVE-2019-14370

        There is an out-of-bounds read in Exiv2::MrwImage::readMetadata() in         mrwimage.cpp. It could result in denial of service.

    CVE-2019-17402

        Exiv2 allows attackers to trigger a crash in Exiv2::getULong in types.cpp         when called from Exiv2::Internal::CiffDirectory::readDirectory in         crwimage_int.cpp, because there is no validation of the relationship of the         total size to the offset and size.

    CVE-2020-18771

        Exiv2 has a global buffer over-read in         Exiv2::Internal::Nikon1MakerNote::print0x0088 in nikonmn_int.cpp which can         result in an information leak.

    CVE-2021-29458

        An out-of-bounds read was found in Exiv2. The out-of- bounds read is         triggered when Exiv2 is used to write metadata into a crafted image file.
        An attacker could potentially exploit the vulnerability to cause a denial         of service by crashing Exiv2, 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. For example, to trigger the bug in the Exiv2         command-line application, you need to add an extra command-line argument         such as insert.

    CVE-2021-32815

        The assertion         failure is triggered when Exiv2 is used to modify the metadata of a         crafted image file. An attacker could potentially exploit the         vulnerability to cause a denial of service, if they can trick the         victim into running Exiv2 on a crafted image file. Note that this bug         is only triggered when modifying the metadata, which is a less         frequently used Exiv2 operation than reading the metadata. For         example, to trigger the bug in the Exiv2 command-line application, you         need to add an extra command-line argument such as `fi`.

    CVE-2021-34334

        An infinite loop is triggered when Exiv2 is used to read the metadata of a         crafted image file. An attacker could potentially exploit the vulnerability         to cause a denial of service, if they can trick the victim into running         Exiv2 on a crafted image file.

    CVE-2021-37620

        An out-of-bounds read is triggered when Exiv2 is used to read the metadata         of a crafted image file. An attacker could potentially exploit the         vulnerability to cause a denial of service, if they can trick the victim         into running Exiv2 on a crafted image file.

    CVE-2021-37621

        An infinite loop is triggered when Exiv2 is used to print the metadata of a         crafted image file. An attacker could potentially exploit the vulnerability         to cause a denial of service, if they can trick the victim into running         Exiv2 on a crafted image file. Note that this bug is only triggered when         printing the image ICC profile, which is a less frequently used Exiv2         operation that requires an extra command line option (`-p C`).

    CVE-2021-37622

        An infinite loop is triggered when Exiv2 is used to modify the metadata of         a crafted image file. An attacker could potentially exploit the         vulnerability to cause a denial of service, if they can trick the victim         into running Exiv2 on a crafted image file. Note that this bug is only         triggered when deleting the IPTC data, which is a less frequently used         Exiv2 operation that requires an extra command line option (`-d I rm`).

    For Debian 10 buster, these problems have been fixed in version     0.25-4+deb10u4.

    We recommend that you upgrade your exiv2 packages.
