Various minor vulnerabilities have been addredd in libexif, a library to parse EXIF metadata files.
This issue had already been addressed via DLA-2214-1. However, upstream provided an updated patch, so this has been followed up on.
Several buffer over-reads in EXIF MakerNote handling could have lead to information disclosure and crashes. This issue is different from already resolved CVE-2020-0093.
Use of uninitialized memory in EXIF Makernote handling could have lead to crashes and potential use-after-free conditions.
An unrestricted size in handling Canon EXIF MakerNote data could have lead to consumption of large amounts of compute time for decoding EXIF data.
For Debian 8 Jessie
, these problems have been fixed in version
0.6.21-2+deb8u3.
We recommend that you upgrade your libexif packages.
