Synopsis |
19 |
======== |
20 |
|
21 |
An integer overflow vulnerability in Exiv2 possibly allows for the |
22 |
execution of arbitrary code. |
23 |
|
24 |
Background |
25 |
========== |
26 |
|
27 |
Exiv2 is a C++ library and set of tools for parsing, editing and saving |
28 |
Exif and IPTC metadata from images. Exif, the Exchangeable image file |
29 |
format, specifies the addition of metadata tags to JPEG, TIFF and RIFF |
30 |
files. |

Description |
41 |
=========== |
42 |
|
43 |
Meder Kydyraliev (Google Security) discovered an integer overflow |
44 |
vulnerability in the JpegThumbnail::setDataArea() method leading to a |
45 |
heap-based buffer overflow. |
46 |
|
47 |
Impact |
48 |
====== |
49 |
|
50 |
An attacker could entice the user of an application making use of Exiv2 |
51 |
or an application included in Exiv2 to load an image file with |
52 |
specially crafted Exif tags, possibly resulting in the execution of |
53 |
arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application. |
54 |
|
55 |
Workaround |
56 |
========== |
57 |
|
58 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
59 |
|
60 |
Resolution |
61 |
========== |
62 |
|
63 |
All Exiv2 users should upgrade to the latest version: |
64 |
|
65 |
# emerge --sync |
66 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-gfx/exiv2-0.13-r1" |
67 |
