+ Exiv2 is a C++ library and set of tools for parsing, editing and saving

+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Meder Kydyraliev (Google Security) discovered an integer overflow
+ vulnerability in the JpegThumbnail::setDataArea() method leading to a
+ heap-based buffer overflow.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ An attacker could entice the user of an application making use of Exiv2
+ or an application included in Exiv2 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.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All Exiv2 users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=media-gfx/exiv2-0.13-r1"</code>
