Detail

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 12.04 LTS - Ubuntu 11.10 - Ubuntu 11.04 - Ubuntu 10.04 LTS - Ubuntu 8.04 LTS

Summary:

libexif could be made to crash, run programs as your login, or expose sensitive information if it opened a specially crafted file.

Software Description: - libexif: library to parse EXIF files

Details:

Mateusz Jurczyk discovered that libexif incorrectly parsed certain malformed EXIF tags. If a user or automated system were tricked into processing a specially crafted image file, an attacker could cause libexif to crash, leading to a denial of service, or possibly obtain sensitive information. (CVE-2012-2812, CVE-2012-2813)

Mateusz Jurczyk discovered that libexif incorrectly parsed certain malformed EXIF tags. If a user or automated system were tricked into processing a specially crafted image file, an attacker could cause libexif to crash, leading to a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2012-2814)

Yunho Kim discovered that libexif incorrectly parsed certain malformed EXIF tags. If a user or automated system were tricked into processing a specially crafted image file, an attacker could cause libexif to crash, leading to a denial of service, or possibly obtain sensitive information. (CVE-2012-2836)

Yunho Kim discovered that libexif incorrectly parsed certain malformed EXIF tags. If a user or automated system were tricked into processing a specially crafted image file, an attacker could cause libexif to crash, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2012-2837)

Dan Fandrich discovered that libexif incorrectly parsed certain malformed EXIF tags. If a user or automated system were tricked into processing a specially crafted image file, an attacker could cause libexif to crash, leading to a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2012-2840, CVE-2012-2841)

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions:

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS:
libexif12 0.6.20-2ubuntu0.1

Ubuntu 11.10:
libexif12 0.6.20-1ubuntu0.1

Ubuntu 11.04:
libexif12 0.6.20-0ubuntu1.1

Ubuntu 10.04 LTS:
libexif12 0.6.19-1ubuntu0.1
