(libexif: Buffer overflow vulnerability)
libexif contains a buffer overflow vulnerability in the EXIF tag
validation code. When opening an image with a specially crafted EXIF
tag, the lack of validation can cause applications linked to libexif to
crash.
Impact :
A specially crafted EXIF file could crash applications making use
of libexif, potentially allowing the execution of arbitrary code with
the privileges of the user running the application.
Workaround :
There is no known workaround at this time."
