15 Synopsis
16 ========
17
18 Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in LibTIFF, the worst of which
19 could result in the execution of arbitrary code.
20
21 Background
22 ==========
23
24 The TIFF library contains encoding and decoding routines for the Tag
25 Image File Format. It is called by numerous programs, including GNOME
26 and KDE applications, to interpret TIFF images.
27
28 Affected packages
29 =================
30
31 -------------------------------------------------------------------
32 Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
33 -------------------------------------------------------------------
34 1 media-libs/tiff < 4.0.8 >= 4.0.8
35
36 Description
37 ===========
38
39 Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in LibTIFF. Please review
40 the referenced CVE identifiers for details.
41
42 Impact
43 ======
44
45 A remote attacker, by enticing the user to process a specially crafted
46 TIFF file, could possibly execute arbitrary code with the privileges of
47 the process, cause a Denial of Service condition, obtain sensitive
48 information, or have other unspecified impacts.
49
50 Workaround
51 ==========
52
53 There is no known workaround at this time.
54
55 Resolution
56 ==========
57
58 All LibTIFF users should upgrade to the latest version:
59
60 # emerge --sync
61 # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-libs/tiff-4.0.8"
62
63 Packages which depend on this library may need to be recompiled. Tools
64 such as revdep-rebuild may assist in identifying some of these
65 packages.
