Category:Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:Mandrake Security Advisory MDVSA-2008:005 (libexif)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to libexif
announced via advisory MDVSA-2008:005.

An infinite recursion flaw was found in the way that libexif parses
Exif image tags. A carefully crafted Exif image file opened by an
application linked against libexif could cause the application to crash
(CVE-2007-6351).

An integer overflow flaw was also found in how libexif parses
Exif image tags. A carefully crafted Exif image file opened by
an application linked against libexif could cause the application
to crash or execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user
executing the application (CVE-2007-6352).

The updated packages have been patched to correct these issues.

Affected: 2007.0, 2007.1, 2008.0, Corporate 3.0, Corporate 4.0

Solution:
To upgrade automatically use MandrakeUpdate or urpmi. The verification
of md5 checksums and GPG signatures is performed automatically for you.
