Hello all,

I wanted to let you know that I have prepared updates of the exiv2
packages for jessie (LTS) and wheezy (ELTS).  The patches that I
prepared applied cleanly to the exiv2 package in stretch.

The stretch packages that I built are here:

https://people.debian.org/~roberto/

I have also attached the DLA text I have published for the jessie
update.  It can serve as the basis of the DSA for stretch, if needed.

If you prefer that I go ahead with uploading the packages that I have
prepared, please let me know.

Regards,

-Roberto

Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in exiv2, a C++ library and
a command line utility to manage image metadata, resulting in denial of
service, heap-based buffer over-read/overflow, memory exhaustion, and
application crash.

For Debian 8 "Jessie", these problems have been fixed in version
0.24-4.1+deb8u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your exiv2 packages.
