Description GLSAMaker/CVETool Bot gentoo-dev 2018-02-16 01:02:01 UTC 
CVE-2017-17722 (https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2017-17722):
  In Exiv2 0.26, there is a reachable assertion in the readHeader function in
  bigtiffimage.cpp, which will lead to a remote denial of service attack via a
  crafted TIFF file.
Comment 1 Andreas Sturmlechner gentoo-dev 2018-02-16 22:14:03 UTC 
It would really help if these NVDs would link to *actual* upstream bugs.
Comment 2 Andreas Sturmlechner gentoo-dev 2018-02-16 22:23:15 UTC 
bigtiffimage.cpp does not even exist in 0.26 branch, so this is a bogus report. Affected is only master, that we don't provide, and which is fixed upstream already.
Comment 3 Aaron Bauman (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2018-03-27 02:11:15 UTC 
Does not apply to us as Andreas mentioned.
