Description:
Matthias Clasen has reported a vulnerability in libexif, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service).
The vulnerability is caused due to an infinite recursion in the "exif_data_load_data_content()" function and can be exploited to cause a stack overflow when parsing a specially crafted image.
Successful exploitation may crash an application linked against the vulnerable library.
