| <impact type="normal"> |
| <p>A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted image |
| file using exif or an application linked against libexif, possibly |
| resulting in execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the |
| process or a Denial of Service condition. |
| </p> |
| </impact> |
| <workaround> |
| <p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p> |
| </workaround> |
| <resolution> |
| <p>All libexif users should upgrade to the latest version:</p> |
| |
| <code> |
| # emerge --sync |
| # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-libs/libexif-0.6.21" |
| </code> |
| |
| <p>Packages which depend on this library may need to be recompiled. Tools |
| such as revdep-rebuild may assist in identifying some of these |
| packages. |
