RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

+++ exiv2-trunk/src/image.cpp

problem is here I think:

                 DataBuf  buf(size*count + pad+20);  // allocate a buffer

count is 0x7fffffff, so size is 0xfffffffe and the expression overflows the unsigned 32bit space.

Comment 3 Marcus Meissner 2017-08-19 11:00:26 UTC

(there seems to be some POC12 vs POC13 confusion. Above comment is for POC13.)

Comment 4 owl337 2017-08-19 13:43:47 UTC

I will check it as soon as possible.

Comment 5 owl337 2017-08-19 14:59:37 UTC

Created attachment 1315757 [details]
It is the right POC

Comment 6 owl337 2017-08-19 15:01:01 UTC

I upsteam the right POC13 in the attachment. Please download it.

Comment 7 owl337 2017-08-19 15:03:32 UTC
