CVE-2026-38332 Details
Description
TinyEXIF before 1.1.0 has a heap-based buffer over-read in EntryParser::Fetch methods reachable via a crafted SubjectArea length.
A heap-based buffer over-read vulnerability has been identified in TinyEXIF versions prior to 1.1.0. The issue arises in the EntryParser::Fetch methods, where the parser reads the length of the SubjectArea tag from untrusted EXIF data without proper validation. This flaw allows for out-of-bounds memory access, which can be exploited by crafting a JPEG file with a manipulated SubjectArea length.
Users are advised to upgrade to TinyEXIF version 1.1.0, where this vulnerability has been fixed. In the latest version, all attacker-controlled buffer reads are now properly validated against the buffer size before processing.
