Package : libexif Version : 0.6.21-2+deb8u3 CVE ID : CVE-2018-20030 CVE-2020-13112 CVE-2020-13113 CVE-2020-13114 Debian Bug : 918730 961407 961409 961410 Various minor vulnerabilities have been addredd in libexif, a library to parse EXIF metadata files. CVE-2018-20030 This issue had already been addressed via DLA-2214-1. However, upstream provided an updated patch, so this has been followed up on. CVE-2020-13112 Several buffer over-reads in EXIF MakerNote handling could have lead to information disclosure and crashes. This issue is different from already resolved CVE-2020-0093. CVE-2020-13113 Use of uninitialized memory in EXIF Makernote handling could have lead to crashes and potential use-after-free conditions. CVE-2020-13114 An unrestricted size in handling Canon EXIF MakerNote data could have lead to consumption of large amounts of compute time for decoding EXIF data. For Debian 8 "Jessie", these problems have been fixed in version 0.6.21-2+deb8u3. We recommend that you upgrade your libexif packages.
