In libexif/exif-entry.c, through libexif 0.6.21-2+deb8u4, compiler optimization could remove a buffer overflow check, making a buffer overflow possible with some EXIF tags.

For Debian 8 jessie, these problems have been fixed in version 0.6.21-2+deb8u5.

We recommend that you upgrade your libexif packages.
