A vulnerability was discovered in libimage-exiftool-perl, a library and program to read and write meta information in multimedia files, which may result in execution of arbitrary code if a malformed DjVu file is processed.

For Debian 9 stretch, this problem has been fixed in version 10.40-1+deb9u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your libimage-exiftool-perl packages.

For the detailed security status of libimage-exiftool-perl please refer to its security tracker page at:
