NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libexiv2-26 package and not the libexiv2-26 package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.0 relevant fixed versions and status.

There is a heap-based buffer overflow in basicio.cpp of Exiv2 0.26. The vulnerability causes an out-of-bounds write in Exiv2::Image::printIFDStructure(), which may lead to remote denial of service or possibly unspecified other impact.
