Doc Text:
A flaw was found in libexif. When decoding MakerNotes, an integer underflow can occur in the exif_mnote_data_get_value function if a zero size is passed. This can lead to a buffer overwrite, potentially allowing an attacker to achieve arbitrary code execution, disclose sensitive information, or cause a denial of service (DoS).

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-03-16 07:02:20 UTC
libexif through 0.6.25 has a flaw in decoding MakerNotes. If the exif_mnote_data_get_value function gets passed in a 0 size, the passed in-buffer would be overwritten due to an integer underflow.
