Matthias-Wandel/jhead jhead 3.06 is vulnerable to Buffer Overflow via shellescape(), jhead.c, jhead. jhead copies strings to a stack buffer when it detects a &i or &o. However, jhead does not check the boundary of the stack buffer. As a result, there will be a stack buffer overflow problem when multiple `&i` or `&o` are given.
Ubuntu Security Notice 6108-1 - It was discovered that Jhead did not properly handle certain crafted images while rotating them. An attacker could possibly use this issue to crash Jhead, resulting in a denial of service. Kyle Brown discovered that Jhead did not properly handle certain crafted images while regenerating the Exif thumbnail. An attacker could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary commands.

Debian Linux Security Advisory 5294-1 - Jhead, a tool for manipulating EXIF data embedded in JPEG images, allowed attackers to execute arbitrary OS commands by placing them in a JPEG filename and then using the regeneration -rgt50, -autorot or -ce option. In addition a buffer overflow error in exif.c has been addressed which could lead to a denial of service (application crash).
