Vulnerability Insight:
Various vulnerabilities have been addressed in libexif, a library to parse EXIF metadata files.

CVE-2016-6328

An integer overflow when parsing the MNOTE entry data of the input file had been found. This could have caused Denial-of-Service (DoS) and Information Disclosure (disclosing some critical heap chunk metadata, even other applications' private data).

CVE-2017-7544

libexif had been vulnerable to out-of-bounds heap read vulnerability in exif_data_save_data_entry function in libexif/exif-data.c caused by improper length computation of the allocated data of an ExifMnote entry which could have caused denial-of-service or possibly information disclosure.

CVE-2018-20030

An error when processing the EXIF_IFD_INTEROPERABILITY and EXIF_IFD_EXIF tags within libexif version could have been exploited to exhaust available CPU resources.

CVE-2020-0093

In exif_data_save_data_entry of exif-data.c, there was a possible out of bounds read due to a missing bounds check. This could have lead to local information disclosure with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction was needed for exploitation.
