CVE-2018-17088 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade Debian:10 jhead to version 1:3.00-8 or higher.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream jhead package and not the jhead package as distributed by Debian.
See How to fix? for Debian:10 relevant fixed versions and status.
The ProcessGpsInfo function of the gpsinfo.c file of jhead 3.00 may allow a remote attacker to cause a denial-of-service attack or unspecified other impact via a malicious JPEG file, because there is an integer overflow during a check for whether a location exceeds the EXIF data length. This is analogous to the CVE-2016-3822 integer overflow in exif.c. This gpsinfo.c vulnerability is unrelated to the CVE-2018-16554 gpsinfo.c vulnerability.
