  <description>
    <p>
    Marcus Meissner of the SUSE security team discovered a stack overflow
    vulnerability in the code processing EXIF information in the kfile JPEG
    info plugin.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    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.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All KDE users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=kde-base/kdegraphics-kfile-plugins-3.5.5-r1"</code>
