{"id":"DEBIAN-CVE-2026-27596","details":"Exiv2 is a C++ library and a command-line utility to read, write, delete and modify Exif, IPTC, XMP and ICC image metadata. Prior to version 0.28.8, an out-of-bounds read was found in Exiv2. The vulnerability is in the preview component, which is only triggered when running Exiv2 with an extra command line argument, like -pp. The out-of-bounds read is at a 4GB offset, which usually causes Exiv2 to crash. This issue has been patched in version 0.28.8.","modified":"2026-09-01T16:06:36.735092419Z","published":"2026-03-02T20:16:27.217Z","upstream":["CVE-2026-27596"],"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2026-27596"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"exiv2","ecosystem":"Debian:12","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/exiv2?arch=source&distro=bookworm"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["0.27.6-1","0.28.0+dfsg-1","0.28.0+dfsg-2","0.28.0+dfsg-3","0.28.0+dfsg-4","0.28.1+dfsg-1","0.28.1+dfsg-2","0.28.1+dfsg-3","0.28.2+dfsg-1","0.28.3+dfsg-1","0.28.3+dfsg-2","0.28.4+dfsg-1","0.28.4+dfsg-2","0.28.5+dfsg-1","0.28.7+dfsg-1","0.28.7+dfsg-2","0.28.8+dfsg-1","0.28.9+dfsg-1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"not yet assigned"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/osv-test-debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2026-27596.json"}},{"package":{"name":"exiv2","ecosystem":"Debian:13","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/exiv2?arch=source&distro=trixie"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["0.28.5+dfsg-1","0.28.7+dfsg-1","0.28.7+dfsg-2","0.28.8+dfsg-1","0.28.9+dfsg-1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"not yet assigned"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/osv-test-debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2026-27596.json"}},{"package":{"name":"exiv2","ecosystem":"Debian:14","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/exiv2?arch=source&distro=forky"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"0.28.8+dfsg-1"}]}],"versions":["0.28.5+dfsg-1","0.28.7+dfsg-1","0.28.7+dfsg-2"],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"not yet assigned"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/osv-test-debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2026-27596.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H"}]}
