Several vulnerabilities were identified in libexif, which may be exploited by attackers to execute arbitrary commands or conduct Denial of Service attacks. These flaws are due to a buffer overflow error that can be triggered by specifying a crafted EXIF tag.

An attacker can create a specially-crafted image file which, when opened by the victim, can lead to the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the application linked against libexif.
