Hi,
The following vulnerability was published for exiv2.
CVE-2021-29473[0]:
| Exiv2 is a C++ library and a command-line utility to read, write,
| delete and modify Exif, IPTC, XMP and ICC image metadata. An out-of-
| bounds read was found in Exiv2 versions v0.27.3 and earlier. Exiv2 is
| a command-line utility and C++ library for reading, writing, deleting,
| and modifying the metadata of image files. 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. Please see our security policy for information about Exiv2
| security.
If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the
CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id in your changelog entry.
