How to fix?

There is no fixed version for libexif.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Out-of-Bounds. Heap-based buffer overflow in the exif_entry_fix function (aka the tag fixup routine) in libexif/exif-entry.c in libexif 0.6.18 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code via an invalid EXIF image. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information.
