1) Incorrect calculation

EUVDB-ID: #VU12905

Risk: Low

CVSSv4.0: 2.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]

CVE-ID: CVE-2016-10158

CWE-ID: CWE-682 - Incorrect Calculation

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.

The weakness exists in the exif_convert_any_to_int function in ext/exif/exif.c due to numeric errors. A remote attacker can submit specially crafted EXIF data that triggers an attempt to divide the minimum representable negative integer by -1 and cause the service to crash.
