An integer wraparound, leading to heap-based out-of-bound read, was found in the way Exiv2 library prints Image File Directory(IFD) in TIFF images. By persuading a victim to open a crafted TIFF image, a remote attacker could crash the application or possibly retrieve a portion of memory.

Description Laura Pardo 2018-02-14 08:25:18 EST
A flaw was found in Exiv2 0.26, there is a integer wraparound in the
Exiv2::Image::printIFDStructure function, leading to a heap-based buffer
over-read in the Exiv2::Image::byteSwap4 function in image.cpp. Remote
attackers can exploit this vulnerability to disclose memory data or cause a
denial of service via a crafted TIFF file.
