Detail

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

- Ubuntu 17.10 - Ubuntu 16.04 LTS - Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

Summary:

Exempi could be made to crash or run programs if it opened a specially crafted file.

Software Description: - exempi: library to parse XMP metadata

Details:

It was discovered that Exempi incorrectly handled certain media files. If a user or automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted file, a remote attacker could cause Exempi to hang or crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code.

Ubuntu 17.10:
exempi 2.4.3-1ubuntu1.1
libexempi3 2.4.3-1ubuntu1.1
