NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream exiv2 package and not the exiv2 package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:11 relevant fixed versions and status.

Exiv2 0.26 has an integer overflow in the LoaderExifJpeg class in preview.cpp, leading to an out-of-bounds read in Exiv2::MemIo::read in basicio.cpp.
