CVE-2025-54080 is fixed in 11 products on 1 platform, first by DEBIAN-CVE-2025-54080, released August 29, 2025. It is not reported as exploited. Patch Radar priority: Routine. - Web page: https://patchblox.com/security/cve/CVE-2025-54080 - Priority: Routine - CVSS: 5.5 (medium) - EPSS: 0.0014 - CISA KEV: not listed - Exploited (vendor report): no - Publicly disclosed: no - Published: Aug 29, 2025 ## Description Exiv2 is a C++ library and a command-line utility to read, write, delete and modify Exif, IPTC, XMP and ICC image metadata. An out-of-bounds read was found in Exiv2 versions 0.28.5 and earlier. The out-of-bounds read is triggered when Exiv2 is used to write metadata into a crafted image file. An attacker could potentially exploit the vulnerability to cause a denial of service by crashing Exiv2, if they can trick the victim into running Exiv2 on a crafted image file. Note that this bug is only triggered when writing the metadata, which is a less frequently used Exiv2 operation than reading the metadata. The bug is fixed in version 0.28.6. ## Where it's fixed | Platform | Product | Fixed in | Fix | Released | |---|---|---|---|---| | Linux | exiv2 Debian 14 | 0.28.7+dfsg-2 | [DEBIAN-CVE-2025-54080](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/debian-cve-2025-54080.md) | Aug 29, 2025 | | Linux | exiv2 Ubuntu 18.04.6 LTS (bionic) | 0.25-3.1ubuntu0.18.04.11+esm1 | [exiv2 0.25-3.1ubuntu0.18.04.11+esm1](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/ubuntu-bionic-exiv2-0.25-3.1ubuntu0.18.04.11-esm1.md) | Mar 2, 2026 | | Linux | exiv2 Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (focal) | 0.27.2-8ubuntu2.7+esm1 | [exiv2 0.27.2-8ubuntu2.7+esm1](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/ubuntu-focal-exiv2-0.27.2-8ubuntu2.7-esm1.md) | Mar 2, 2026 | | Linux | exiv2 Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS (jammy) | 0.27.5-3ubuntu1.1 | [exiv2 0.27.5-3ubuntu1.1](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/ubuntu-jammy-exiv2-0.27.5-3ubuntu1.1.md) | Mar 2, 2026 | | Linux | exiv2 Ubuntu 24.04.5 LTS (noble) | 0.27.6-1ubuntu0.1 | [exiv2 0.27.6-1ubuntu0.1](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/ubuntu-noble-exiv2-0.27.6-1ubuntu0.1.md) | Mar 2, 2026 | | Linux | exiv2 Ubuntu 25.10 (questing) | 0.28.5+dfsg-1ubuntu0.1 | [exiv2 0.28.5+dfsg-1ubuntu0.1](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/ubuntu-questing-exiv2-0.28.5-dfsg-1ubuntu0.1.md) | Mar 2, 2026 | | Linux | exiv2 amzn 2023 | 0.28.5-129.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2025-1296](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2025-1296.md) | Dec 8, 2025 | | Linux | exiv2 opensuse-leap 16.0 | 0.28.8-160000.1.1 | [OPENSUSE-SU-2026:20410-1](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/opensuse-su-2026-20410-1.md) | Mar 23, 2026 | | Linux | exiv2 sles 16.0 | 0.28.8-160000.1.1 | [SUSE-SU-2026:20923-1](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/suse-su-2026-20923-1.md) | Mar 23, 2026 | | Linux | exiv2-debuginfo amzn 2023 | 0.28.5-129.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2025-1296](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2025-1296.md) | Dec 8, 2025 | | Linux | exiv2-debugsource amzn 2023 | 0.28.5-129.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2025-1296](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2025-1296.md) | Dec 8, 2025 | | Linux | exiv2-devel amzn 2023 | 0.28.5-129.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2025-1296](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2025-1296.md) | Dec 8, 2025 | | Linux | exiv2-doc amzn 2023 | 0.28.5-129.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2025-1296](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2025-1296.md) | Dec 8, 2025 | | Linux | exiv2-libs amzn 2023 | 0.28.5-129.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2025-1296](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2025-1296.md) | Dec 8, 2025 | | Linux | exiv2-libs-debuginfo amzn 2023 | 0.28.5-129.amzn2023 | [ALAS2023-2025-1296](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2025-1296.md) | Dec 8, 2025 | | Linux | libexiv2-14 Ubuntu 18.04.6 LTS (bionic) | 0.25-3.1ubuntu0.18.04.11+esm1 | [libexiv2-14 0.25-3.1ubuntu0.18.04.11+esm1](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/ubuntu-bionic-libexiv2-14-0.25-3.1ubuntu0.18.04.11-esm1.md) | Mar 2, 2026 | | Linux | libexiv2-27 Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (focal) | 0.27.2-8ubuntu2.7+esm1 | [libexiv2-27 0.27.2-8ubuntu2.7+esm1](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/ubuntu-focal-libexiv2-27-0.27.2-8ubuntu2.7-esm1.md) | Mar 2, 2026 | | Linux | libexiv2-27 Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS (jammy) | 0.27.5-3ubuntu1.1 | [libexiv2-27 0.27.5-3ubuntu1.1](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/ubuntu-jammy-libexiv2-27-0.27.5-3ubuntu1.1.md) | Mar 2, 2026 | | Linux | libexiv2-27 Ubuntu 24.04.5 LTS (noble) | 0.27.6-1ubuntu0.1 | [libexiv2-27 0.27.6-1ubuntu0.1](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/ubuntu-noble-libexiv2-27-0.27.6-1ubuntu0.1.md) | Mar 2, 2026 | | Linux | libexiv2-28 Ubuntu 25.10 (questing) | 0.28.5+dfsg-1ubuntu0.1 | [libexiv2-28 0.28.5+dfsg-1ubuntu0.1](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/ubuntu-questing-libexiv2-28-0.28.5-dfsg-1ubuntu0.1.md) | Mar 2, 2026 | | Linux | libexiv2-data Ubuntu 25.10 (questing) | 0.28.5+dfsg-1ubuntu0.1 | [libexiv2-data 0.28.5+dfsg-1ubuntu0.1](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/ubuntu-questing-libexiv2-data-0.28.5-dfsg-1ubuntu0.1.md) | Mar 2, 2026 | --- Data as of 2026-11-08T06:59:42Z UTC.
