CVE-2021-37620 is fixed in 3 products on 1 platform, first by exiv2 0.25-3.1ubuntu0.18.04.11, released August 9, 2021. It is not reported as exploited. Patch Radar priority: Routine.
Exiv2 is a command-line utility and C++ library for reading, writing, deleting, and modifying the metadata of image files. An out-of-bounds read was found in Exiv2 versions v0.27.4 and earlier. The out-of-bounds read is triggered when Exiv2 is used to read the metadata of a crafted image file. An attacker could potentially exploit the vulnerability to cause a denial of service, if they can trick the victim into running Exiv2 on a crafted image file. The bug is fixed in version v0.27.5.
