A denial-of-service was found in Exiv2 version 0.28.5: a quadratic algorithm in the ICC profile parsing code in jpegBase::readMetadata() can cause Exiv2 to run for a long time. The denial-of-service is triggered when Exiv2 is used to read the metadata of a crafted jpg image file. The bug is fixed in version 0.28.6."

Se encontró una denegación de servicio en Exiv2 versión 0.28.5: un algoritmo cuadrático en el código de análisis de perfiles ICC en jpegBase::readMetadata() puede hacer que Exiv2 se ejecute durante mucho tiempo. La denegación de servicio se activa cuando se usa Exiv2 para leer los metadatos de un archivo de imagen jpg manipulado. El error está corregido en la versión 0.28.6."
