ID: 201401-10

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Synopsis
========

Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in libexif and exif, some of
which may allow execution of arbitrary code.

Background
==========

libexif is a library for parsing, editing and saving Exif metadata from

-------------------------------------------------------------------
2 affected packages

Description
===========

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in libexif and exif.
Please review the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.

Impact
======

A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted image
file using exif or an application linked against libexif, possibly
resulting in execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the
process or a Denial of Service condition.

Workaround
==========

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
==========

All libexif users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-libs/libexif-0.6.21"
