Detail
| Meder Kydyraliev discovered an integer overflow in the thumbnail handling of libexif, the EXIF/IPTC metadata manipulation library, which could result in the execution of arbitrary code. For the stable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in version 0.10-1.5. The old stable distribution (sarge) doesn't contain exiv2 packages. We recommend that you upgrade your exiv2 packages. |
