Binary package hint: exiftags

References:

Quoting:
"Christian Schmid and Meder Kydyraliev (Google Security) discovered a
number of vulnerabilities in exiftags, a utility for extracting EXIF
metadata from JPEG images. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures
project identified the following three problems:

CVE-2007-6354

    Inadequate EXIF property validation could lead to invalid memory
    accesses if executed on a maliciously crafted image, potentially
    including heap corruption and the execution of arbitrary code.

CVE-2007-6355

    Flawed data validation could lead to integer overflows, causing
    other invalid memory accesses, also with the potential for memory
    corruption or arbitrary code execution.

CVE-2007-6356

    Cyclical EXIF image file directory (IFD) references could cause
    a denial of service (infinite loop)."
