AlmaLinux 9.2 [TuxCare] Security Update: libexif / libexif-devel / libexif-doc Multiple Vulnerabilities (ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2026:1776768816)

high Nessus Plugin ID 361735

Synopsis

The AlmaLinux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The AlmaLinux 9.2 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TuxCare ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2026:1776768816 advisory.

 - libexif through 0.6.25 has a flaw in decoding MakerNotes. If the exif_mnote_data_get_value function gets passed in a 0 size, the passed in-buffer would be overwritten due to an integer underflow.
 (CVE-2026-32775)

 - In libexif through 0.6.25, an unsigned 32bit integer overflow in Nikon MakerNote handling could be used by local attackers to cause crashes or information leaks. This only affects 32bit systems. (CVE-2026-40385)

 - In libexif through 0.6.25, an integer underflow in size checking for Fuji and Olympus MakerNote decoding could be used by attackers to crash or leak information out of libexif-using programs. (CVE-2026-40386)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the affected packages based on the guidance in TuxCare advisory ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2026:1776768816.
