Descriptions
The exif_convert_utf16_to_utf8 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_convert_utf16_to_utf8 en exif-entry.c en la biblioteca de análisis de etiquetas EXIF (también conocida 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 debidamente modificadas en una imagen.
Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in libexif and exif, some of which may allow execution of arbitrary code. Versions less than 0.6.21 are affected.
