Description Martin Prpič 2015-01-05 10:57:31 EST

A buffer overflow flaw was found in the RiffVideo::infoTagsHandler function in riffvideo.cpp in Exiv2 version 0.24. This flaw could allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash)  via a long IKEY INFO tag value in an AVI file.

Note that only version 0.24 is affected by this flaw. The patch for this issue is available at [2]. A reproduces is also available in comment #1 in [1].
