I prepared 0.6.13-5.etch.1 for upload, please find the interdiff
attached to this email (stripped of a copy of config.log that sneaked
in 0.6.13-5 diff).

I also backported other security related fixes that went in between
0.6.14 and 0.6.15 (but have not been announced).

libexif (0.6.13-5.etch.1) stable-security; urgency=high

  * Backported security fix from 0.6.14 and 0.6.15
    * Integer overflow in the exif_data_load_data_entry (CVE-2007-2645)
      (closes: #424775)
    * Don't dereference NULL (CID 4) (no assigned CVE)
    * Don't parse Makernote when there is not enough data for
      (makernote-irelevant) IFD1 (no assigned CVE)
