CVE-2021-37620
Exiv2 es una utilidad de línea de comandos y una biblioteca C++ para leer, escribir, borrar y modificar los metadatos de los archivos de imagen. En versiones v0.27.4 y anteriores a Exiv2 se encontró una lectura fuera de límites. La lectura fuera de límites es desencadenada cuando Exiv2 es usado para leer los metadatos de un archivo de imagen diseñado. Un atacante podría explotar potencialmente la vulnerabilidad para causar una denegación de servicio, si puede engañar a la víctima para que ejecute Exiv2 en un archivo de imagen diseñado. El bug es corregido en versión v0.27.5
