Integer overflow in the exif_data_load_data_entry function in libexif/exif-data.c in Libexif before 0.6.16 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or execute arbitrary code via an image with many EXIF components, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow.

CVE-2006-4168 libexif vulnerability
Title: libexif vulnerability
Summary: libexif vulnerability
Sean Larsson discovered that libexif did not correctly verify the size of
EXIF components. By tricking a user into opening an image with specially
crafted EXIF headers, a remote attacker could cause the application
using libexif to execute arbitrary code with user privileges.
Instructions: After a standard system upgrade you need to restart your session to
effect the necessary changes.
