The remote host is missing an update for the 'exif' package(s) announced via the referenced advisory. An integer overflow in the function jpeg_data_load_data in the exif program could cause a data read beyond the end of a buffer, causing an application crash or leakage of potentially sensitive information when parsing a crafted JPEG file (CVE-2012-2845). The updated packages have been upgraded to the 0.6.21 version which is not vulnerable to this issue
