Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.51817
Category:Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:Ubuntu 4.10 USN-91-1 (libexif)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to libexif
announced via advisory USN-91-1.

Sylvain Defresne discovered that the EXIF library did not properly
validate the structure of the EXIF tags. By tricking a user to load an
image with a malicious EXIF tag, an attacker could exploit this to
crash the process using the library, or even execute arbitrary code
with the privileges of the process.

The following packages are affected: libexif10

Solution:
The problem can be corrected by upgrading the affected package to
version 0.6.9-1ubuntu0.1. In general, a standard system upgrade is
sufficient to effect the necessary changes.
