Name        : libexif
Product     : Fedora 7
Version     : 0.6.15
Release     : 1.fc7
Summary     : Library for extracting extra information from image files
Description :
Most digital cameras produce EXIF files, which are JPEG files with
extra tags that contain information about the image. The EXIF library
allows you to parse an EXIF file and read the data from those tags.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

This update to the latest upstream release fixes a number of bugs, among them a possible integer overflow in the exif_data_load_data_entry function 
(CVE-2007-2645), which allows user-assisted remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via crafted EXIF data.
