A new libexif vulnerability update is available for Ubuntu Linux. Here the announcement:
Ubuntu Security Notice USN-478-1 June 26, 2007
libexif vulnerability
CVE-2006-4168
==========================
==========================
=========
A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:
Ubuntu 6.06 LTS
Ubuntu 6.10
Ubuntu 7.04
This advisory also applies to the corresponding versions of
Kubuntu, Edubuntu, and Xubuntu.
The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the
following package versions:
Ubuntu 6.06 LTS:
libexif12 0.6.12-2ubuntu0.2
Ubuntu 6.10:
libexif12 0.6.13-4ubuntu0.2
Ubuntu 7.04:
libexif12 0.6.13-5ubuntu0.2
After a standard system upgrade you need to restart your session to
effect the necessary changes.
Details follow:
Sean Larsson discovered that libexif did not correctly verify the size of
EXIF components. By tricking a user into opening an image with specially
crafted EXIF headers, a remote attacker could cause the application
using libexif to execute arbitrary code with user privileges.
Updated packages for Ubuntu 6.06 LTS:
