Ubuntu Security Notice USN-655-1 October 15, 2008
exiv2 vulnerabilities
CVE-2007-6353, CVE-2008-2696
===========================================================

A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:

Ubuntu 7.04
Ubuntu 7.10
Ubuntu 8.04 LTS

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 7.04:
libexiv2-0.12 0.12-0ubuntu2.1

Ubuntu 7.10:
libexiv2-0 0.15-1ubuntu2.1

Ubuntu 8.04 LTS:
libexiv2-2 0.16-3ubuntu1.1

After a standard system upgrade you need to restart your session to effect
the necessary changes.

Details follow:

Meder Kydyraliev discovered that exiv2 did not correctly handle certain
EXIF headers. If a user or automated system were tricked into processing
a specially crafted image, a remote attacker could cause the application
linked against libexiv2 to crash, leading to a denial of service, or
possibly executing arbitrary code with user privileges. (CVE-2007-6353)

Joakim Bildrulle discovered that exiv2 did not correctly handle Nikon
lens EXIF information. If a user or automated system were tricked into
processing a specially crafted image, a remote attacker could cause the
application linked against libexiv2 to crash, leading to a denial of
service. (CVE-2008-2696)
