Summary:
Several security issues were fixed in Exempi.
Software Description:
- exempi: library to parse XMP metadata
Details:
It was discovered that Exempi incorrectly handled certain media files. If a
user or automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted
file, a remote attacker could cause Exempi to stop responding or crash,
resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code.
