exempi vulnerabilities
==========================================================================

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

– Ubuntu 17.10
– Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

Summary:

Exempi could be made to crash or run programs if it opened a specially
crafted file.

Software Description:
– exempi: library to parse XMP metadata

Details:

It was discovered that Exempi incorrectly handled certain media files. If a
user or automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted
file, a remote attacker could cause Exempi to hang or crash, resulting in a
denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code.
