Vulnerability from osv_openeuler
Exiv2 is a Cross-platform C++ library and a command line utility to manage image metadata. It provides fast and easy read and write access to the Exif, IPTC and XMP metadata and the ICC Profile embedded within digital images in various formats.
Security Fix(es):
A vulnerability, which was classified as problematic, was found in exiv2 up to 0.28.5 (Image Processing Software).CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-125. The product reads data past the end, or before the beginning, of the intended buffer.This is going to have an impact on availability.Upgrading to version 0.28.6 eliminates this vulnerability. Applying the patch e737332427711f15bcdc4e903203d6b7493eaec0 is able to eliminate this problem. The bugfix is ready for download at github.com. The best possible mitigation is suggested to be upgrading to the latest version.(CVE-2025-54080)
A vulnerability was found in exiv2 up to 0.28.5 (Image Processing Software). It has been classified as problematic.CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-407. An algorithm in a product has an inefficient worst-case computational complexity that may be detrimental to system performance and can be triggered by an attacker, typically using crafted manipulations that ensure that the worst case is being reached.This is going to have an impact on availability.Upgrading to version 0.28.6 eliminates this vulnerability. Applying a patch is able to eliminate this problem. The bugfix is ready for download at github.com. The best possible mitigation is suggested to be upgrading to the latest version.(CVE-2025-55304)
