Descriptions

The exif_entry_get_value function in exif-entry.c in the EXIF Tag Parsing Library (aka libexif) before 0.6.21 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) or possibly obtain sensitive information from process memory via crafted EXIF tags in an image.

La función exif_entry_get_value Exif-entry.c en la biblioteca de análisis de etiquetas EXIF (también conocido como libexif) antes de v0.6.21 permite a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio (lectura fuera de límites) o, posiblemente, obtener información sensible de la memoria del proceso a través de etiquetas EXIF modificadas en una imagen.
