Description:
A vulnerability has been reported in Exiv2, which potentially can be exploited by malicious people to crash an application using the library.

The vulnerability is caused due to a floating point exception within the pretty printing functionality when processing certain Nicon camera lens information. This can be exploited to crash an application linked against the Exiv2 library when a image containing specially-crafted metadata is processed.

The vulnerability is reported in version 0.16. Prior versions may also be affected.
