Bug 803317 – <media-libs/exiftool-12.30: Unspecified vulnerability

• Status: IN_PROGRESS
• Product: Gentoo Security

[Description Sam James 2021-07-22 04:47:16 UTC]

July 9, 2021 - Version 12.29

    Added a few new Nikon and Olympus lenses (thanks LibRaw)
    Improved a QuickTime "File format error" message to be more meaningful, and made it a minor error
    Changed PNG writer to add EXIF before IDAT
    Some changes the way JUMBF metadata is handled
    Patched to read timed GPS from a different type of INSV videos
    Patched a security issue
    Fixed problem where ExifTool could hang when processing mebx timed metadata 

But it's not yet marked as a "production release", so we should avoid bumping to it, I suppose.

12.30 is now, so let's stabilize it. Arches please do.

Please note we're working to detach stabilization from security bugs!

Please cleanup.
