+Subject: [PATCH] Improve deep recursion detection in
+ exif_data_load_data_content.
+
+The existing detection was still vulnerable to pathological cases
+causing DoS by wasting CPU. The new algorithm takes the number of tags
+into account to make it harder to abuse by cases using shallow recursion
+but with a very large number of tags. This improves on commit 5d28011c
+which wasn't sufficient to counter this kind of case.
+
+The limitation in the previous fix was discovered by Laurent Delosieres,
+Secunia Research at Flexera (Secunia Advisory SA84652) and is assigned
+the identifier CVE-2018-20030.
