CVE-2026-68546 is a heap out-of-bounds write in Exiv2's RemoteIo::Impl::populateBlocks() function. The vulnerable RemoteIo code path is used when Exiv2 processes a remote URL rather than a local file. A malicious remote server or attacker-controlled URL processed through this functionality can trigger the memory-corruption condition. Exiv2 versions earlier than 0.28.9 are affected.
