Description:
Sylvain Defresne has reported a vulnerability in libexif, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service) or potentially compromise vulnerable systems.
The vulnerability is caused due to an error within the validation of EXIF tag structures and can be exploited via a malicious image file containing a specially crafted EXIF tag.
Successful exploitation crashes an application linked against the vulnerable library and may also allow execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the application.
The vulnerability has been reported in version 0.6.9. Other versions may also be affected.
