Description GLSAMaker/CVETool Bot gentoo-dev 2018-02-16 01:02:57 UTC 
CVE-2018-5772 (https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2018-5772):
  In Exiv2 0.26, there is a segmentation fault caused by uncontrolled
  recursion in the Exiv2::Image::printIFDStructure function in the image.cpp
  file. Remote attackers could leverage this vulnerability to cause a denial
  of service via a crafted tif file.
Comment 1 Andreas Sturmlechner gentoo-dev 2018-09-21 15:08:05 UTC 
This should also be fixed since disabling printStructure() in https://github.com/Exiv2/exiv2/pull/180 (bug 647810, media-gfx/exiv2-0.26_p20180811-r2).
