CVE-2005-0664: Buffer Overflow
First published: Tue Mar 08 2005(Updated: )
Buffer overflow in the EXIF library (libexif) 0.6.9 does not properly validate the structure of the EXIF tags, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a JPEG image with a crafted EXIF tag.
