Exiv2 is a C++ library and set of tools for parsing, editing and saving |
| 40 |
Exif and IPTC metadata from images. Exif, the Exchangeable image file |
| 41 |
format, specifies the addition of metadata tags to JPEG, TIFF and RIFF |
| 42 |
files. |

Meder Kydyraliev (Google Security) discovered an integer overflow |
| 48 |
vulnerability in the JpegThumbnail::setDataArea() method leading to a |
| 49 |
heap-based buffer overflow. |

<impact type="normal"> |
| 53 |
<p> |
| 54 |
An attacker could entice the user of an application making use of Exiv2 |
| 55 |
or an application included in Exiv2 to load an image file with |
| 56 |
specially crafted Exif tags, possibly resulting in the execution of |
| 57 |
arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application. |
| 58 |
</p> |
| 59 |
</impact> |
| 60 |
<workaround> |
| 61 |
<p> |
| 62 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
| 63 |
</p> |
| 64 |
</workaround> |
| 65 |
<resolution> |
| 66 |
<p> |
| 67 |
All Exiv2 users should upgrade to the latest version: |
| 68 |

# emerge --sync |
| 71 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-gfx/exiv2-0.13-r1"</code> |
