Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-04-09 12:57 – Updated: 2025-04-09 12:57

Summary

bep/imagemeta allows excessively large EXIF data structures

Details

Impact

The EXIF data format allows for defining excessively large data structures in relatively small payloads. Before v0.10.0, If you didn't trust the input images, this could be abused to construct denial-of-service attacks.

Patches

v0.10.0 added LimitNumTags (default 5000) and LimitTagSize (default 10000) options.

Severity ?

6.9 (Medium)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2025-04-08 15:10 – Updated: 2025-04-08 15:39

Title

bep/imagemeta allows excessively large EXIF data structures

Summary

bep/imagemeta is a Go library for reading EXIF, IPTC and XMP image meta data from JPEG, TIFF, PNG, and WebP files. The EXIF data format allows for defining excessively large data structures in relatively small payloads. Before v0.10.0, If you didn't trust the input images, this could be abused to construct denial-of-service attacks. v0.10.0 added LimitNumTags (default 5000) and LimitTagSize (default 10000) options.

Severity ?
