• PyPI exiv2: >= 0.16.0, < 0.16.1 → fixed in 0.16.1

Description

Impact A denial-of-service was found in Exiv2 version v0.28.1: an unbounded recursion can cause Exiv2 to crash by exhausting the stack. The vulnerable function, `QuickTimeVideo::multipleEntriesDecoder`, was new in v0.28.0 (see https://github.com/Exiv2/exiv2/pull/2337), so Exiv2 versions before v0.28 are _not_ affected. Exiv2 is a command-line utility and C++ library for reading, writing, deleting, and modifying the metadata of image files. The denial-of-service is triggered when Exiv2 is used to read the metadata of a crafted video file. Patches The bug is fixed in version v0.28.2. For more information Please see our security policy for information about Exiv2 security. Credit This bug was found by OSS-Fuzz.
