Descriptions

Integer overflow in libexif 0.6.16 and earlier allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via an image with crafted EXIF tags, possibly involving the exif_data_load_data_thumbnail function in exif-data.c.

Un desbordamiento de enteros en libexif versión 0.6.16 y anteriores, permite a los atacantes dependiendo del contexto ejecutar código arbitrario por medio de una imagen con etiquetas EXIF especialmente diseñadas, lo que posiblemente involucra la función exif_data_load_data_thumbnail en el archivo exif-data.c.

An infinite recursion flaw was found in the way that libexif parses Exif image tags. A carefully crafted Exif image file opened by an application linked against libexif could cause the application to crash. An integer overflow flaw was also found in how libexif parses Exif image tags. A carefully crafted Exif image file opened by an application linked against libexif could cause the application to crash or execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user executing the application.
