Debian Security Advisory DSA-1533-1 security@debian.org
http://www.debian.org/security/ Devin Carraway
March 27, 2008 http://www.debian.org/security/faq
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
Package : exiftags
Vulnerability : insufficient input sanitizing
Problem type : local (remote)
Debian-specific: no
CVE Id(s) : CVE-2007-6354 CVE-2007-6355 CVE-2007-6356
Debian Bug : 457062
Christian Schmid and Meder Kydyraliev (Google Security) discovered a
number of vulnerabilities in exiftags, a utility for extracting EXIF
metadata from JPEG images. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures
project identified the following three problems:
CVE-2007-6354
Inadequate EXIF property validation could lead to invalid memory
accesses if executed on a maliciously crafted image, potentially
including heap corruption and the execution of arbitrary code.
CVE-2007-6355
Flawed data validation could lead to integer overflows, causing
other invalid memory accesses, also with the potential for memory
corruption or arbitrary code execution.
CVE-2007-6356
Cyclical EXIF image file directory (IFD) references could cause
a denial of service (infinite loop).
For the stable distribution (etch), these problems have been fixed in
version 0.98-1.1+etch1.
The old stable distribution (sarge) cannot be fixed synchronously
with the Etch version due to a technical limitation in the Debian
archive management scripts.
For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in
version 1.01-0.1.
We recommend that you upgrade your exiftags package.
Debian 4.0 (stable)
- -------------------
Stable updates are available for alpha, amd64, arm, hppa, i386, ia64, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390 and sparc.
