Descriptions

Buffer overflow in the EXIF library (libexif) 0.6.9 does not properly validate the structure of the EXIF tags, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a JPEG image with a crafted EXIF tag.

libexif contains a buffer overflow vulnerability in the EXIF tag validation code. When opening an image with a specially crafted EXIF tag, the lack of validation can cause applications linked to libexif to crash. Versions less than 0.5.12-r1 are affected.
