Debian DSA-1474-1 : exiv2 - integer overflow

high Nessus Plugin ID 30066

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

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.

Solution

Upgrade the exiv2 packages.

The old stable distribution (sarge) doesn't contain exiv2 packages.
