How to fix?

Upgrade Ubuntu:14.04 libexif to version 0.6.21-1ubuntu1+esm1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libexif package and not the libexif package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:14.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

In libexif, there is a possible out of bounds write due to an integer overflow. This could lead to remote escalation of privilege in the media content provider with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is needed for exploitation.
