An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2023-44398 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- exiv2 (PyPI): affected all versions; no fix listed\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-44398/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-44398/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-44398","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-44398/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-44398","record":{"aliases":["AZL-31939","AZL-36940","CLEANSTART-2024-EU98453","GHSA-hrw9-ggg3-3r4r","PYSEC-2023-233","openSUSE-SU-2024:13403-1"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Image metadata library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An out-of-bounds write in Exiv2 allows attackers to execute arbitrary code by tricking users into processing a crafted image file.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"GitHub_M","cpe":[{"product":"exiv2","vendor":"exiv2"}],"cvss":{"score":8.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-787","name":"Out-of-bounds Write"}],"description":"Exiv2 is a C++ library and a command-line utility to read, write, delete and modify Exif, IPTC, XMP and ICC image metadata. An out-of-bounds write was found in Exiv2 version v0.28.0. The vulnerable function, `BmffImage::brotliUncompress`, is new in v0.28.0, so earlier versions of Exiv2 are _not_ affected. The out-of-bounds write is triggered when Exiv2 is used to read the metadata of a crafted image file. An attacker could potentially exploit the vulnerability to gain code execution, if they can trick the victim into running Exiv2 on a crafted image file. This bug is fixed in version v0.28.1. Users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability.","ecosystems":["PyPI","openSUSE:Tumbleweed"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Out-of-bounds write in exiv2","id":"CVE-2023-44398","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"PyPI","product":"exiv2:exiv2","products":["exiv2:exiv2"],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2023"},"n_packages":2,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"ZITADEL's password reset does not respect the \"Ignoring unknown usernames\" setting","id":"CVE-2023-44399"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":[],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"exiv2","purl":"pkg:pypi/exiv2","source":"PYSEC-2023-233"},{"ecosystem":"openSUSE:Tumbleweed","fixed":["0.28.1-1.1"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"exiv2","purl":"pkg:rpm/opensuse/exiv2\u0026distro=openSUSE%20Tumbleweed","source":"openSUSE-SU-2024:13403-1"}],"prev":{"headline":"CloudExplorer Lite permission bypass vulnerability","id":"CVE-2023-44397"},"products":["exiv2"],"published":"2023-11-06","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-9143","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-02-25"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-9144","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-02-25"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-14046","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-07-13"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-12955","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-08-18"},{"cvss_score":8.1,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-14338","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-07-17"},{"cvss_score":8.1,"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-9305","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-04-04"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"PyPA Advisory Database","prefix":"PYSEC"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"SUSE","prefix":"openSUSE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-02-26","vendors":["Exiv2"]},"summary":"An out-of-bounds write in Exiv2 allows attackers to execute arbitrary code by tricking users into processing a crafted image file.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-44398/"}
