------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian LTS Advisory DLA-3219-1 [email protected] https://www.debian.org/lts/security/ Markus Koschany December 04, 2022 https://wiki.debian.org/LTS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Package : jhead Version : 1:3.00-8+deb10u1 CVE ID : CVE-2021-34055 CVE-2022-41751 Debian Bug : 1024272 1022028

Jhead, a tool for manipulating EXIF data embedded in JPEG images, allowed attackers to execute arbitrary OS commands by placing them in a JPEG filename and then using the regeneration -rgt50, -autorot or -ce option. In addition a buffer overflow error in exif.c has been addressed which could lead to a denial of service (application crash).

For Debian 10 buster, these problems have been fixed in version 1:3.00-8+deb10u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your jhead packages.

For the detailed security status of jhead please refer to its security tracker page at:
