NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream exiv2-debugsource package and not the exiv2-debugsource package as distributed by Rocky-Linux. See How to fix? for Rocky-Linux:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

samples/geotag.cpp in the example code of Exiv2 0.26 misuses the realpath function on POSIX platforms (other than Apple platforms) where glibc is not used, possibly leading to a buffer overflow.
