+ <description>
+ <p>
+ libexif contains a buffer overflow vulnerability in the EXIF tag
+ validation code. When opening an image with a specially crafted EXIF
+ tag, the lack of validation can cause applications linked to libexif to
+ crash.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ A specially crafted EXIF file could crash applications making use
+ of libexif, potentially allowing the execution of arbitrary code with
+ the privileges of the user running the application.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All libexif users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=media-libs/libexif-0.5.12-r1"</code>
