+  <description>
+    <p>
+    libexif contains a buffer overflow vulnerability in the EXIF tag
+    validation code. When opening an image with a specially crafted EXIF
+    tag, the lack of validation can cause applications linked to libexif to
+    crash.
+    </p>
+  </description>
+  <impact type="normal">
+    <p>
+    A specially crafted EXIF file could crash applications making use
+    of libexif, potentially allowing the execution of arbitrary code with
+    the privileges of the user running the application.
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>
+    There is no known workaround at this time.
+    </p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>
+    All libexif users should upgrade to the latest version:
+    </p>
+    <code>
+    # emerge --sync
+    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=media-libs/libexif-0.5.12-r1&quot;</code>
