Last modified

CVE-2012-2841 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. Integer underflow in the exif_entry_get_value function in exif-entry.c in the EXIF Tag Parsing Library (aka libexif) 0.6.20 might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via vectors involving a crafted buffer-size parameter during the formatting of an EXIF tag, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow.. EPSS estimates a 5.70% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
