--------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2007-605 2007-06-25 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Product : Fedora Core 5 Name : libexif Version : 0.6.12 Release : 5 Summary : Library for extracting extra information from image files Description : 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. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: 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. --------------------------------------------------------------------- * Wed Jun 13 2007 Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com> - 0.6.12-5 -- Add patch for CVE-2007-4168. Fix bug #243891 --------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be downloaded from: http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/u... bc9dd11ff96433a16e43645010014a9839f589db SRPMS/libexif-0.6.12-5.src.rpm bc9dd11ff96433a16e43645010014a9839f589db noarch/libexif-0.6.12-5.src.rpm 57d8ab6e2b78c12a6e66938eb4aacbe821c495c8 ppc/libexif-0.6.12-5.ppc.rpm c5a81715d1d60559cd6da7e35b6828d7b73bf2b1 ppc/debug/libexif-debuginfo-0.6.12-5.ppc.rpm 77683b433a4075bb0c311cffa953cf505e948f35 ppc/libexif-devel-0.6.12-5.ppc.rpm ed31d8bbecdb740de0362c71d25740c03effd546 x86_64/libexif-devel-0.6.12-5.x86_64.rpm bfeaea199b4ed467690bf26aee22ba94ffa189b4 x86_64/libexif-0.6.12-5.x86_64.rpm 8a3f6f9b3efae7ec1265c52f22156085bc127b00 x86_64/debug/libexif-debuginfo-0.6.12-5.x86_64.rpm 4ab5d8f54188d630865bcf89d4edb417d57b3727 i386/debug/libexif-debuginfo-0.6.12-5.i386.rpm 9fb88803c06f1598e542c693f5d9fcac0194b405 i386/libexif-0.6.12-5.i386.rpm aeb3f3584389097bb091d2ab6b046ac57ba0d93b i386/libexif-devel-0.6.12-5.i386.rpm This update can be installed with the 'yum' update program.
