Debian: exiftags fix several vulnerabilities DSA-1533-1
Summary
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------Debian Security Advisory DSA-1533-1 security@debian.org http://www.debian.org/security/ Devin Carraway March 27, 2008 http://www.debian.org/security/faq - ------------------------------------------------------------------------Package : exiftags Vulnerability : insufficient input sanitizing Problem type : local (remote) Debian-specific: no CVE Id(s) : CVE-2007-6354 CVE-2007-6355 CVE-2007-6356 Debian Bug : 457062 Christian Schmid and Meder Kydyraliev (Google Security) discovered a number of vulnerabilities in exiftags, a utility for extracting EXIF metadata from JPEG images. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identified the following three problems: CVE-2007-6354 Inadequate EXIF property validation could lead to invalid memory accesses if executed on a maliciously crafted image, potentially including heap corruption and the execution of arbitrary code. CVE-2007-6355 Flawed data validation could lead to integer overflows, causing other invalid memory accesses, also with the potential for memory corruption or arbitrary code execution. CVE-2007-6356 Cyclical EXIF image file directory (IFD) references could cause a denial of service (infinite loop). For the stable distribution (etch), these problems have been fixed in version 0.98-1.1+etch1. The old stable distribution (sarge) cannot be fixed synchronously with the Etch version due to a technical limitation in the Debian archive management scripts. For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in version 1.01-0.1. We recommend that you upgrade your exiftags package. Debian 4.0 (stable) - -------------------Stable updates are available for alpha, amd64, arm, hppa, i386, ia64, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390 and sparc.
