Exiv2 Denial-of-Service Vulnerability
Exiv2 is susceptible to a denial-of-service vulnerability. This issue is due to the application's failure to properly bounds-check user-supplied input data before attempting to read it, resulting in an out-of-bounds memory access crash. This issue allows attackers to crash applications that use the affected library to process malicious image data.
Mitigation:
Ensure that user-supplied input is properly validated before being used.
