+ <title>exiftags: Multiple vulnerabilities</title>
+ <synopsis>
+ Multiple vulnerabilities in exiftags possibly allow for the execution of
+ arbitrary code or a Denial of Service.

+ <background>
+ <p>
+ exiftags is a library and set of tools for parsing, editing and saving
+ Exif metadata from images. Exif, the Exchangeable image file format,
+ specifies the addition of metadata tags to JPEG, TIFF and RIFF files.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Meder Kydyraliev (Google Security) discovered that Exif metadata is not
+ properly sanitized before being processed, resulting in illegal memory
+ access in the postprop() and other functions (CVE-2007-6354). He also
+ discovered integer overflow vulnerabilities in the parsetag() and other
+ functions (CVE-2007-6355) and an infinite recursion in the readifds()
+ function caused by recursive IFD references (CVE-2007-6356).
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ An attacker could entice the user of an application making use of
+ exiftags or an application included in exiftags to load an image file
+ with specially crafted Exif tags, possibly resulting in the execution
+ of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the
+ application or a Denial of Service.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All exiftags users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=media-gfx/exiftags-1.01"</code>
