Oracle Solaris Third-Party Patch Update : libtiff (cve_2012_4564_design_error1)
High Nessus Plugin ID 80681
Synopsis
The remote Solaris system is missing a security patch for third-party software.
Description
The remote Solaris system is missing necessary patches to address security updates :
- 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)
- Heap-based buffer overflow in the t2p_process_jpeg_strip function in tiff2pdf in libtiff 4.0.3 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted TIFF image file. (CVE-2013-1960)
- Stack-based buffer overflow in the t2p_write_pdf_page function in tiff2pdf in libtiff before 4.0.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted image length and resolution in a TIFF image file. (CVE-2013-1961)
Solution
Upgrade to Solaris 11.1.14.5.0.
