CVE-2018-8977
In Exiv2 0.26, the Exiv2::Internal::printCsLensFFFF function in canonmn_int.cpp allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (invalid memory access) via a crafted file.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (2.10%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
