An out-of-bounds write vulnerability exists in the OpenImageIO::add_exif_item_to_spec functionality of OpenImageIO Project OpenImageIO v2.4.4.2. Specially-crafted exif metadata can lead to stack-based memory corruption. An attacker can provide a malicious file to trigger this vulnerability.

Weakness

A function returns the address of a stack variable, which will cause unintended program behavior, typically in the form of a crash.
