Description Sam James archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2021-04-25 16:56:00 UTC
* CVE-2021-29470

Description:
"An out-of-bounds read was found in Exiv2 versions v0.27.3 and earlier. 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. The bug is fixed in version v0.27.4."

* CVE-2021-29457

Description:
"A heap buffer overflow was found in Exiv2 versions v0.27.3 and earlier. The heap overflow is triggered when Exiv2 is used to write metadata into a crafted image file. An attacker could potentially exploit the vulnerability to gain code execution, 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`. The bug is fixed in version v0.27.4."

* CVE-2021-29623

Description:
"A read of uninitialized memory was found in Exiv2 versions v0.27.3 and earlier. The read of uninitialized memory is triggered when Exiv2 is used to read the metadata of a crafted image file.

Description:
"An inefficient algorithm (quadratic complexity) was found in Exiv2 versions v0.27.3 and earlier. The inefficient algorithm 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, if they can trick the victim into running Exiv2 on a crafted image file. The bug is fixed in version v0.27.4.

Comment 8 John Helmert III archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2021-08-06 18:40:35 UTC
CVE-2021-31291:

A heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability in jp2image.cpp of Exiv2 0.27.3 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (DOS) via crafted metadata.

CVE-2021-31292:

An integer overflow in CrwMap::encode0x1810 of Exiv2 0.27.3 allows attackers to trigger a heap-based buffer overflow and cause a denial of service (DOS) via crafted metadata.

Both fixes in 0.27.4.
