Red Hat Security Advisory

Synopsis: Moderate: libexif security update
Advisory ID: RHSA-2007:1166-01
Advisory URL: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2007-1166.html
Issue date: 2007-12-19
Updated on: 2007-12-19
Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux
CVE Names: CVE-2007-6352
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Summary:

Updated libexif packages that fix a security issue are now available for
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.

This update has been rated as having moderate security impact by the Red
Hat Security Response Team.

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS version 4 - i386, ia64, ppc, s390, s390x, x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop version 4 - i386, x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES version 4 - i386, ia64, x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS version 4 - i386, ia64, x86_64

3. Problem description:

The libexif packages contain the Exif library. Exif is an image file format
specification that enables metadata tags to be added to existing JPEG, TIFF
and RIFF files. The Exif library makes it possible to parse an Exif file
and read this metadata.

An integer overflow flaw was found in the way libexif parses Exif image
tags. If a victim opens a carefully crafted Exif image file, it could cause
the application linked against libexif to execute arbitrary code, or crash.
(CVE-2007-6352)

Users of libexif are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
contain a backported patch to resolve this issue.

4. Solution:

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use
