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.
