Synopsis ========
The KDE kfile JPEG info plugin of kdegraphics could enter an endless loop leading to a Denial of Service.
Background ==========
The KDE kfile-info JPEG plugin provides meta-information about JPEG files.
Affected packages =================
------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 kde-base/kdegraphics-kfile-plugins < 3.5.5-r1 >= 3.5.5-r1
Description ===========
Marcus Meissner of the SUSE security team discovered a stack overflow vulnerability in the code processing EXIF information in the kfile JPEG info plugin.
Impact ======
A remote attacker could entice a user to view a specially crafted JPEG image with a KDE application like Konqueror or digiKam, leading to a Denial of Service by an infinite recursion.
Workaround ==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution ==========
All KDE users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=kde-base/kdegraphics-kfile-plugins-3.5.5-r1"
