Mandriva Linux Security Advisory : libtiff (MDVSA-2012:174)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 63017

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Mandriva Linux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

Multiple vulnerabilities was found and corrected in libtiff :

Heap-based buffer overflow in tif_pixarlog.c in LibTIFF before 4.0.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted TIFF image using the PixarLog Compression format (CVE-2012-4447).

ppm2tiff does not check the return value of the TIFFScanlineSize function, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted PPM image that triggers an integer overflow, a zero-memory allocation, and a heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-2012-4564).

The updated packages have been patched to correct these issues.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
