The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200712-15 (libexif: Multiple vulnerabilities)

Meder Kydyraliev (Google Security) discovered an integer overflow     vulnerability in the exif_data_load_data_thumbnail() function leading     to a memory corruption (CVE-2007-6352) and an infinite recursion in the     exif_loader_write() function (CVE-2007-6351).

Impact :

An attacker could entice the user of an application making use of     libexif to load an image file with specially crafted Exif tags,     possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the     privileges of the user running the application or a Denial of Service.

Workaround :

There is no known workaround at this time.
