===========================================================
Ubuntu Security Notice USN-91-1 March 07, 2005
libexif vulnerabilities
https://bugzilla.ubuntulinux.org/7152
===========================================================
A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:
Ubuntu 4.10 (Warty Warthog)
The following packages are affected:
libexif10
The problem can be corrected by upgrading the affected package to
version 0.6.9-1ubuntu0.1. In general, a standard system upgrade is
sufficient to effect the necessary changes.
Details follow:
Sylvain Defresne discovered that the EXIF library did not properly
validate the structure of the EXIF tags. By tricking a user to load an
image with a malicious EXIF tag, an attacker could exploit this to
crash the process using the library, or even execute arbitrary code
with the privileges of the process.
