Several vulnerabilities were discovered in TIFF, a library set and tools to support the Tag Image File Format (TIFF), allowing denial of service and potential privilege escalation.

These vulnerabilities can be exploited via a specially crafted TIFF image.

  - CVE-2012-2113     The tiff2pdf utility has an integer overflow error when     parsing images.

  - CVE-2012-3401     Huzaifa Sidhpurwala discovered heap-based buffer     overflow in the t2p_read_tiff_init() function.

  - CVE-2010-2482     An invalid td_stripbytecount field is not properly     handle and can trigger a NULL pointer dereference.

  - CVE-2010-2595     An array index error, related to 'downsampled OJPEG     input' in the TIFFYCbCrtoRGB function causes an     unexpected crash.

  - CVE-2010-2597     Also related to 'downsampled OJPEG input', the     TIFFVStripSize function crash unexpectly.

  - CVE-2010-2630     The TIFFReadDirectory function does not properly     validate the data types of codec-specific tags that have     an out-of-order position in a TIFF file.

  - CVE-2010-4665     The tiffdump utility has an integer overflow in the     ReadDirectory function.

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201209-02 (libTIFF: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in libTIFF. Please review       the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
  Impact :

    A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted TIFF       file with an application making use of libTIFF, possibly resulting in       execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the       application or a Denial of Service condition.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

USN-1085-1 fixed vulnerabilities in the system TIFF library. The upstream fixes were incomplete and created problems for certain CCITTFAX4 files. This update fixes the problem.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

Sauli Pahlman discovered that the TIFF library incorrectly handled invalid td_stripbytecount fields. If a user or automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted TIFF image, a remote attacker could crash the application, leading to a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and 10.10. (CVE-2010-2482)

Sauli Pahlman discovered that the TIFF library incorrectly handled TIFF files with an invalid combination of SamplesPerPixel and Photometric values. If a user or automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted TIFF image, a remote attacker could crash the application, leading to a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 10.10. (CVE-2010-2482)

Nicolae Ghimbovschi discovered that the TIFF library incorrectly handled invalid ReferenceBlackWhite values. If a user or automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted TIFF image, a remote attacker could crash the application, leading to a denial of service.
(CVE-2010-2595)

Sauli Pahlman discovered that the TIFF library incorrectly handled certain default fields. If a user or automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted TIFF image, a remote attacker could crash the application, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2010-2597, CVE-2010-2598)

It was discovered that the TIFF library incorrectly validated certain data types. If a user or automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted TIFF image, a remote attacker could crash the application, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2010-2630)

It was discovered that the TIFF library incorrectly handled downsampled JPEG data. If a user or automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted TIFF image, a remote attacker could execute arbitrary code with user privileges, or crash the application, leading to a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and 10.10. (CVE-2010-3087)

It was discovered that the TIFF library incorrectly handled certain JPEG data. If a user or automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted TIFF image, a remote attacker could execute arbitrary code with user privileges, or crash the application, leading to a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 6.06 LTS, 8.04 LTS and 9.10. (CVE-2011-0191)

It was discovered that the TIFF library incorrectly handled certain TIFF FAX images. If a user or automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted TIFF FAX image, a remote attacker could execute arbitrary code with user privileges, or crash the application, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2011-0191).
