Hi,

The following vulnerability was published for exiv2.

CVE-2025-54080[0]:
| 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 read was found in Exiv2 versions 0.28.5 and earlier. The out-
| of-bounds read is triggered when Exiv2 is used to write metadata
| into a crafted image file. An attacker could potentially exploit the
| vulnerability to cause a denial of service by crashing Exiv2, if
| they can trick the victim into running Exiv2 on a crafted image
| file. Note that this bug is only triggered when writing the
| metadata, which is a less frequently used Exiv2 operation than
| reading the metadata. The bug is fixed in version 0.28.6.
