Ubuntu 7.10:
libexiv2-0 0.15-1ubuntu2.1

Meder Kydyraliev discovered that exiv2 did not correctly handle certain EXIF headers. If a user or automated system were tricked into processing a specially crafted image, a remote attacker could cause the application linked against libexiv2 to crash, leading to a denial of service, or possibly executing arbitrary code with user privileges. (CVE-2007-6353)
