CVE-2007-6352
CVSS v2.0
6.8
Medium
| Vector | AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions:
libexif versions 0.5.12 through 0.6.16
libexif version 0.6.13
libexif versions prior to 0.6.16-r1
Description:
The issue affects the libexif package, allowing context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via an image with crafted EXIF tags, possibly involving the
exif data load data thumbnail function in exif-data.c. This can lead to a disruption of confidentiality, integrity, and availability of protected information. The exploitation can be carried out remotely.Recommendations:
For libexif versions 0.5.12 through 0.6.16, update to a version later than 0.6.16.
For libexif version 0.6.13, update to a version later than 0.6.16.
For libexif versions prior to 0.6.16-r1, update to version 0.6.16-r1 or later.
As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to images with crafted EXIF tags until a patch is available.
