The default version of the libexif package seems to be 0.6.12-1. There
is a fatal error in this version. It has been fixed in 0.6.13
In exif-data.c, there is a single line of code
if (s & 1) *ds++;
The author really wanted
if (s & 1) (*ds)++;
This bug will be exercised whenever a certain EXIF record has an odd
number of bytes. At that point, a program crash is all but certain.
