"The version of exiv2 installed on the remote Azure Linux 3.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected
by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2024-24826 advisory.

  - 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 version v0.28.1. The vulnerable function,
    `QuickTimeVideo::NikonTagsDecoder`, was new in v0.28.0, so Exiv2 versions before v0.28 are _not_ affected.
    The out-of-bounds read is triggered when Exiv2 is used to read the metadata of a crafted video file. In
    most cases this out of bounds read will result in a crash. This bug is fixed in version v0.28.2. Users are
    advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability. (CVE-2024-24826)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
