Debian DSA-1078-1 : tiff - out-of-bounds read

low Nessus Plugin ID 22620

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

Andrey Kiselev discovered a problem in the TIFF library that may allow an attacker with a specially crafted TIFF image with Yr/Yg/Yb values that exceed the YCR/YCG/YCB values to crash the library and hence the surrounding application.

Solution

Upgrade the tiff packages and restart the programs using it.

The old stable distribution (woody) is not affected by this problem.

For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in version 3.7.2-4.
