(libexif: Integer overflow vulnerability)

    Victor Stinner reported an integer overflow in the
    exif_data_load_data_entry() function from file exif-data.c while
    handling Exif data.
  
Impact :

    An attacker could entice a user to process a file with specially
    crafted Exif extensions with an application making use of libexif,
    which will trigger the integer overflow and potentially execute
    arbitrary code or crash the application.
  
Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time."
