Note that woody is not affected since it does not include exifautotran.
Note that sarge, etch and sid include the same version.

I have put fixed package at 
<http://people.Debian.org/~ballombe/jpeg>

I won't upload them until I get advice from the security team.

However I am not sure this is a security bug:
The original script create a file named tempfile in the current
directory, not int /tmp.

Would you consider this script to have a security hole?
#!/bin/sh
cat "$1" > tempfile
mv tempfile "$2"

or even
#!/bin/sh
cat "$1" > "$2"
