Here are the details from the Slackware 11.0 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
l/libexif-0.6.16-i486-1_slack11.0.tgz: Upgraded to libexif-0.6.16.
 An integer overflow in libexif can crash applications that use the library
 on malformed images. The upstream advisory indicates that this flaw could
 also be used to execute arbitrary code in the context of the user, but no
 exploit is known (by us) to exist among iDefense's researchers or in the
 wild. But, as a crash bug and heap overflow one must suppose that the
 possibility exists.
