Details

### Impact The EXIF data format allows for defining excessively large data structures in relatively small payloads. Before `v0.10.0`, If you didn't trust the input images, this could be abused to construct denial-of-service attacks.

### Patches `v0.10.0` added LimitNumTags (default 5000) and LimitTagSize (default 10000) options.
