MEDIUM 6.5EPSS 2.65%

Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (2.65%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

An issue was discovered in Exiv2 0.26. When the data structure of the structure ifd is incorrect, the program assigns pValue_ to 0x0, and the value of pValue() is 0x0. TiffImageEntry::doWriteImage will use the value of pValue() to cause a segmentation fault. To exploit this vulnerability, someone must open a crafted tiff file.
