Category:	Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:	Ubuntu USN-471-1 (libexif)
Summary:	Ubuntu USN-471-1 (libexif)
Description:	The remote host is missing an update to libexif announced via advisory USN-471-1. A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases: Ubuntu 6.06 LTS Ubuntu 6.10 Ubuntu 7.04 This advisory also applies to the corresponding versions of Kubuntu, Edubuntu, and Xubuntu. Details follow: Victor Stinner discovered that libexif did not correctly validate the size of some EXIF header fields. By tricking a user into opening an image with specially crafted EXIF headers, a remote attacker could cause the application using libexif to crash, resulting in a denial of service. Solution: The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 6.06 LTS: libexif12 0.6.12-2ubuntu0.1 Ubuntu 6.10: libexif12 0.6.13-4ubuntu0.1 Ubuntu 7.04: libexif12 0.6.13-5ubuntu0.1 After a standard system upgrade you need to restart your session to effect the necessary changes. http://www.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=USN-471-1 Risk factor : Critical
