+ <title>libexif: Buffer overflow</title>
+ <synopsis>
+ libexif does not properly handle image EXIF information, possibly allowing

+ <affected>
+ <package name="media-libs/libexif" auto="yes" arch="*">
+ <unaffected range="ge">0.6.16</unaffected>
+ <vulnerable range="lt">0.6.16</vulnerable>

+ <background>
+ <p>
+ libexif is a library for parsing, editing and saving EXIF metadata from
+ images.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ iDefense Labs have discovered that the exif_data_load_data_entry()
+ function in libexif/exif-data.c improperly handles integer data while
+ working with an image with many EXIF components, allowing an integer
+ overflow possibly leading to a heap-based buffer overflow.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ An attacker could entice a user of an application making use of a
+ vulnerable version of libexif to load a specially crafted image file,
+ possibly resulting in a crash of the application or the execution of
+ arbitrary code with the rights of the user running the application.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All libexif users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=media-libs/libexif-0.6.16&quot;</code>
