Descriptions
Integer overflow in the exif_data_load_data_entry function in libexif/exif-data.c in Libexif before 0.6.16 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or execute arbitrary code via an image with many EXIF components, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow.
Desbordamiento de entero en la función exif_data_load_data_entry en libexif/exif-data.c en Libexif anterior a 0.6.16 permite a atacantes remotos provocar denegación de servicio (caida de aplicación) o ejecutar código de su elección a través de una imagen con diferentes componentes EXIF, lo cual dispara un desbordamiento de búfer basado en pila.
Remote exploitation of a integer overflow vulnerability in libexif, as included in various vendors' operating system distributions, could allow attackers to crash the process or execute arbitrary code. The problem exists while parsing a tagged image with a large number of Exif components. Applications using this library are susceptible to a heap overflow when an integer overflow is triggered in the exif_data_load_data_entry function. iDefense confirmed the existence of this vulnerability in versions 0.6.13 through 0.6.15 of libexif.
