NASL family Fedora Local Security Checks NASL id FEDORA_2007-4667.NASL description This update fixes to recently discovered vulnerabilities in libexif, CVE-2007-6351 and CVE-2007-6352. Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues. last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 29765 published 2007-12-24 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2007-2019 Tenable Network Security, Inc. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/29765 title Fedora 8 : libexif-0.6.15-5.fc8 (2007-4667) NASL family Oracle Linux Local Security Checks NASL id ORACLELINUX_ELSA-2007-1165.NASL description From Red Hat Security Advisory 2007:1165 : Updated libexif packages that fix several security issues are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5. This update has been rated as having moderate security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team. The libexif packages contain the Exif library. Exif is an image file format specification that enables metadata tags to be added to existing JPEG, TIFF and RIFF files. The Exif library makes it possible to parse an Exif file and read this metadata. An infinite recursion flaw was found in the way libexif parses Exif image tags. If a victim opens a carefully crafted Exif image file, it could cause the application linked against libexif to crash. (CVE-2007-6351) An integer overflow flaw was found in the way libexif parses Exif image tags. If a victim opens a carefully crafted Exif image file, it could cause the application linked against libexif to execute arbitrary code, or crash. (CVE-2007-6352) Users of libexif are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches to resolve these issues. last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 67625 published 2013-07-12 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2013-2019 and is owned by Tenable, Inc. or an Affiliate thereof. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/67625 title Oracle Linux 5 : libexif (ELSA-2007-1165) NASL family CentOS Local Security Checks NASL id CENTOS_RHSA-2007-1165.NASL description Updated libexif packages that fix several security issues are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.
