Hi,

I found lots of issues from metacam package in Debian while fuzzing with AFL
<http://lcamtuf.coredump.cx/afl/>.

Popularity of this package is pretty low currently:
https://qa.debian.org/popcon.php?package=metacam

Do you want me to report these issues to Debian bug tracking system? I was
unable to find upstream issue tracker for this package and our Git URL seems to
be broken according to http://duck.debian.net/static/sp/m/metacam.html

Some of these issues probably has security impact on systems executing malicious
files with cli program. Please note that the cli program might be dependency in
web-application etc.

Do we really want to have several packages in Debian, which list and/or edit
EXIF data for JPEG files?

I have attached one of the sample files to this email.
