NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream exif package and not the exif package as distributed by Ubuntu.

Integer overflow in the jpeg_data_load_data function in jpeg-data.c in libjpeg in exif 0.6.20 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (buffer over-read and application crash) or obtain potentially sensitive information via a crafted JPEG file.
