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)

  - 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.
