MEDIUM 5.5EPSS 1.86%

Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.86%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

In Exiv2 0.26, there is a segmentation fault caused by uncontrolled recursion in the Exiv2::Image::printIFDStructure function in the image.cpp file. Remote attackers could leverage this vulnerability to cause a denial of service via a crafted tif file.
