<description>
<p>
Victor Stinner reported an integer overflow in the
exif_data_load_data_entry() function from file exif-data.c while
handling Exif data.
</p>
</description>
<impact type="normal">
<p>
An attacker could entice a user to process a file with specially
crafted Exif extensions with an application making use of libexif,
which will trigger the integer overflow and potentially execute
arbitrary code or crash 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. Please note
that users upgrading from "&lt;=media-libs/libexif-0.6.13" should also run
revdep-rebuild after their upgrade.
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=media-libs/libexif-0.6.15&quot;
# revdep-rebuild --library=/usr/lib/libexif.so</code>
