CVE-2017-11683
There is a reachable assertion in the Internal::TiffReader::visitDirectory function in tiffvisitor.cpp of Exiv2 0.26 that will lead to a remote denial of service attack via crafted input.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (2.65%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
