Bug 791397 – <media-libs/exiftool-12.26: Vulnerability in lang option

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Security

[Description Sam James 2021-05-22 05:02:00 UTC]

"May 20, 2021 - Version 12.26 (production release)
Added support for JPEG Stereo (JPS) images
Added a new Sony LensType (thanks LibRaw)
Added a new PentaxModelID (thanks LibRaw)
Changed ExifTool namespace URI to use exiftool.org instead of exiftool.ca in the -X option output (exiftool.ca is still recognized when reading XML)
Improved handling of large-array warnings in -htmldump output
Changed handling of escaped characters in #[CSTR] lines of -@ argfile
Patched security vulnerability in argument of -lang option
Fixed problem which could cause a "Wide character" warning and generate a corrupted output file when writing some illegal values"
