Fedora Core 6: FEDORA-2007-614 Moderate: Libexif Integer Overflow

fedora
Calendar Grey June 29, 2007
Dist Fedora Esm H88
Important patch for libexif in Fedora Core 6 fixes integer wraparound flaw. Update advised for enhanced protection.
The libexif package contains the EXIF library

Summary

Most digital cameras produce EXIF files, which are JPEG files with

extra tags that contain information about the image. The EXIF library

allows you to parse an EXIF file and read the data from those tags.

The libexif package contains the EXIF library. Applications

use this library to parse EXIF image files.

An integer overflow flaw was found in the way libexif parses

EXIF image tags. If a victim opens a carefully crafted EXIF

image file it could cause the application linked against

libexif to execute arbitrary code or crash. (CVE-2007-4168)

Users of libexif should upgrade to these updated packages,

which contain a backported patch and are not vulnerable to

this issue.

- Add patch for CVE-2007-4168. Fix bug #243892
