+ <p>
+ libexif is a library for parsing, editing and saving Exif metadata from
+ images. Exif, the Exchangeable image file format, specifies the
+ addition of metadata tags to JPEG, TIFF and RIFF files.

+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Meder Kydyraliev (Google Security) discovered an integer overflow
+ vulnerability in the exif_data_load_data_thumbnail() function leading
+ to a memory corruption (CVE-2007-6352) and an infinite recursion in the
+ exif_loader_write() function (CVE-2007-6351).
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ An attacker could entice the user of an application making use of
+ libexif to load an image file with specially crafted Exif tags,
+ possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the
+ privileges of the user running the application or a Denial of Service.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All libexif users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=media-libs/libexif-0.6.16-r1"</code>
