Package: exiv2
Version: 0.24-4.1
Severity: grave
Tags: security patch

There is a buffer overflow condition with some AVI files. I am not fully
sure but maybe it could be used for a code execution.

However, the bug is fixed upstream. See also report [0].

I extracted and tested the patch from upstream and added it to this
report.

This bug affects also many other packages that uses libexiv2. Namely
geeqie and digikam.
