Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the EXIF parsing code
of the libexif library, which can lead to denial of service or the
execution of arbitrary code if a user is tricked into opening a
malformed image. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies
the following problems:
This update also fixes two potential NULL pointer deferences.
For the old stable distribution (sarge), these problems have been
fixed in 0.6.9-6sarge2.
For the stable distribution (etch), these problems have been fixed in
version 0.6.13-5etch2.
We recommend that you upgrade your libexif packages.
