{"id":"CVE-2021-37619","state":"PUBLISHED","title":"Out-of-bounds read in Exiv2::Jp2Image::encodeJp2Header","description":"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 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. For example, to trigger the bug in the Exiv2 command-line application, you need to add an extra command-line argument such as insert. The bug is fixed in version v0.27.5.","publishedAt":"2021-08-09T00:00:00.000Z","updatedAt":"2024-08-04T01:23:01.284Z","severity":{"score":4.7,"label":"Medium","version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","source":"GitHub_M"},"assigner":"GitHub_M","products":["Exiv2 exiv2"],"affected":[{"vendor":"Exiv2","product":"exiv2","versions":[{"version":"<= 0.27.4","status":"affected"}]}],"references":["https://github.com/Exiv2/exiv2/security/advisories/GHSA-mxw9-qx4c-6m8v","https://github.com/Exiv2/exiv2/pull/1752","https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce%40lists.fedoraproject.org/message/FMDT4PJB7P43WSOM3TRQIY3J33BAFVVE/","https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce%40lists.fedoraproject.org/message/UYGDELIFFJWKUU7SO3QATCIXCZJERGAC/","https://security.gentoo.org/glsa/202312-06"],"weaknesses":["CWE-125"],"ingestedAt":"2026-10-29T19:48:47.122Z","source":{"repository":"CVEProject/cvelistV5","path":"cves/2021/37xxx/CVE-2021-37619.json","commit":"556c9d3a8cd17e218bb8e452ba7cd619a384ff47"},"raw":{"dataType":"CVE_RECORD","dataVersion":"5.1","cveMetadata":{"cveId":"CVE-2021-37619","state":"PUBLISHED","datePublished":"2021-08-09T00:00:00.000Z","dateUpdated":"2024-08-04T01:23:01.284Z","assignerShortName":"GitHub_M","assignerOrgId":"a0819718-46f1-4df5-94e2-005712e83aaa","dateReserved":"2021-07-29T00:00:00.000Z"},"containers":{"cna":{"title":"Out-of-bounds read in Exiv2::Jp2Image::encodeJp2Header","descriptions":[{"lang":"en","value":"Exiv2 is a command-line utility and C++ library for reading, writing, deleting, and modifying the metadata of image files.
