CVE-2012-2814

Un desbordamiento de búfer en la función exif_entry_format_value en Exif-entry.c en la biblioteca de análisis de etiquetas EXIF (también conocida como libexif) v0.6.20 permite a atacantes remotos causar una denegación de servicio o posiblemente ejecutar código de su elección a través de etiquetas EXIF debidamente modificadas en una imagen.

A heap-based out-of-bounds array read in the exif_entry_get_value function in libexif/exif-entry.c in libexif 0.6.20 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly obtain potentially sensitive information from process memory via an image with crafted EXIF tags. A heap-based out-of-bounds array read in the exif_convert_utf16_to_utf8 function in libexif/exif-entry.c in libexif 0.6.20 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly obtain potentially sensitive information from process memory via an image with crafted EXIF tags. A buffer overflow in the exif_entry_format_value function in libexif/exif-entry.c in libexif 0.6.20 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code via an image with crafted EXIF tags. A heap-based out-of-bounds array read in the exif_data_load_data function in libexif 0.6.20 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly obtain potentially sensitive information from process memory via an image with crafted EXIF tags. A divide-by-zero error in the mnote_olympus_entry_get_value function while formatting EXIF maker note tags in libexif 0.6.20 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via an image with crafted EXIF tags. An off-by-one error in the exif_convert_utf16_to_utf8 function in libexif/exif-entry.c in libexif 0.6.20 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code via an image with crafted EXIF tags. An integer underflow in the exif_entry_get_value function can cause a heap overflow and potentially arbitrary code execution while formatting an EXIF tag, if the function is called with a buffer size parameter equal to zero or one. The updated packages have been upgraded to the 0.6.21 version which is not vulnerable to these issues.
