Descriptions

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.

Exiv2 es una utilidad de línea de comandos y una librería de C++ para leer, escribir, eliminar y modificar los metadatos de archivos de imagen. Se encontró una denegación de servicio en la versión v0.28.1 de Exiv2: una recursividad ilimitada puede provocar que Exiv2 falle al agotar la pila. La función vulnerable, `QuickTimeVideo::multipleEntriesDecoder`, era nueva en v0.28.0, por lo que las versiones de Exiv2 anteriores a v0.28 _no_ se ven afectadas. La denegación de servicio se activa cuando se utiliza Exiv2 para leer los metadatos de un archivo de vídeo creado. Este error se solucionó en la versión v0.28.2. Se recomienda a los usuarios que actualicen. No se conocen workarounds para esta vulnerabilidad.
