CVE-2009-3895
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.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (5.12%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
