Published: Updated: Translated: NVD NIST

Exploitation Probability (EPSS)

Low risk
0.12%

2th percentile - higher than 2% of all known CVEs

Summary

TinyEXIF before 1.1.0 has a heap-based buffer over-read in EntryParser::Fetch methods reachable via a crafted SubjectArea length. This can lead to reading beyond the bounds of a heap buffer.

Risk Assessment

Processing a malicious image file may cause memory disclosure or application crash, which in some scenarios could be leveraged for further exploitation. The risk affects any application processing untrusted EXIF files.

Recommendation

Update the TinyEXIF library to version 1.1.0 or later. It is also advisable to validate untrusted image files before processing them.
