{"id":"CVE-2023-44398","state":"PUBLISHED","title":"Out-of-bounds write in exiv2","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 write was found in Exiv2 version v0.28.0. The vulnerable function, `BmffImage::brotliUncompress`, is new in v0.28.0, so earlier versions of Exiv2 are _not_ affected. The out-of-bounds write is triggered when Exiv2 is used to read the metadata of a crafted image file. An attacker could potentially exploit the vulnerability to gain code execution, if they can trick the victim into running Exiv2 on a crafted image file. This bug is fixed in version v0.28.1. Users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability.","publishedAt":"2023-11-06T17:30:54.394Z","updatedAt":"2025-02-26T21:15:17.204Z","severity":{"score":8.8,"label":"High","version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","source":"GitHub_M"},"assigner":"GitHub_M","products":["Exiv2 exiv2"],"affected":[{"vendor":"Exiv2","product":"exiv2","versions":[{"version":"= 0.28.0","status":"affected"}]}],"references":["https://github.com/Exiv2/exiv2/security/advisories/GHSA-hrw9-ggg3-3r4r","https://github.com/Exiv2/exiv2/commit/e884a0955359107f4031c74a07406df7e99929a5","https://security.gentoo.org/glsa/202312-06"],"weaknesses":["CWE-787"],"ingestedAt":"2026-10-29T20:06:17.512Z","source":{"repository":"CVEProject/cvelistV5","path":"cves/2023/44xxx/CVE-2023-44398.json","commit":"556c9d3a8cd17e218bb8e452ba7cd619a384ff47"},"raw":{"dataType":"CVE_RECORD","dataVersion":"5.1","cveMetadata":{"cveId":"CVE-2023-44398","state":"PUBLISHED","datePublished":"2023-11-06T17:30:54.394Z","dateUpdated":"2025-02-26T21:15:17.204Z","assignerShortName":"GitHub_M","assignerOrgId":"a0819718-46f1-4df5-94e2-005712e83aaa","dateReserved":"2023-09-28T17:56:32.614Z"},"containers":{"cna":{"title":"Out-of-bounds write in exiv2","descriptions":[{"lang":"en","value":"Exiv2 is a C++ library and a command-line utility to read, write, delete and modify Exif, IPTC, XMP and ICC image metadata.
