From: Yue Tao <Yue.Tao at windriver.com>

[ CQID: WIND00366808 ]

The exif_convert_utf16_to_utf8 function in exif-entry.c in the EXIF
Tag Parsing Library (aka libexif) before 0.6.21 allows remote attackers
to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) or possibly obtain
sensitive information from process memory via crafted EXIF tags in an image.
