GHSA-4qm4-8hg2-g2xm: MessagePack allows untrusted data to lead to DoS attack due to hash collisions and stack overflow

### Impact When this library is used to deserialize messagepack data from an untrusted source, there is a risk of a denial of service attack by an attacker that sends data contrived to produce hash collisions, leading to large CPU consumption disproportionate to the size of the data being deserialized. This is similar to [a prior advisory](https://github.com/MessagePack-CSharp/MessagePack-CSharp/security/advisories/GHSA-7q36-4xx7-xcxf), which provided an inadequate fix for the hash collision part of the vulnerability. ### Patches The following steps are required to mitigate this risk. 1. Upgrade to a version of the library where a fix is available. 1. Review the steps in [this previous advisory](https://github.com/MessagePack-CSharp/MessagePack-CSharp/security/advisories/GHSA-7q36-4xx7-xcxf) to ensure you have your application configured for untrusted data. ### Workarounds If upgrading MessagePack to a patched version is not an option for you, you may apply a manual workaround a...

GHSA-crmj-qh74-2r36: Exiv2 has a denial of service due to unbounded recursion in QuickTimeVideo::multipleEntriesDecoder

### Impact A denial-of-service was found in Exiv2 version v0.28.1: an unbounded recursion can cause Exiv2 to crash by exhausting the stack. The vulnerable function, `QuickTimeVideo::multipleEntriesDecoder`, was new in v0.28.0 (see https://github.com/Exiv2/exiv2/pull/2337), so Exiv2 versions before v0.28 are _not_ affected. Exiv2 is a command-line utility and C++ library for reading, writing, deleting, and modifying the metadata of image files. The denial-of-service is triggered when Exiv2 is used to read the metadata of a crafted video file. ### Patches The bug is fixed in version v0.28.2. ### For more information Please see our [security policy](https://github.com/Exiv2/exiv2/security/policy) for information about Exiv2 security. ### Credit This bug was found by [OSS-Fuzz](https://github.com/google/oss-fuzz).

GHSA-g9xm-7538-mq8w: Exiv2 has an out-of-bounds read in QuickTimeVideo::NikonTagsDecoder

### Impact An out-of-bounds read was found in Exiv2 version v0.28.1.

Exiv2 is a command-line utility and C++ library for reading, writing, deleting, and modifying the metadata of image files.
