Synopsis |
16 |
======== |
17 |
|
18 |
Multiple boundary checking vulnerabilities in libTIFF may allow for the |
19 |
remote execution of arbitrary code. |
20 |
|
21 |
Background |
22 |
========== |
23 |
|
24 |
libTIFF provides support for reading and manipulating TIFF (Tagged |
25 |
Image File Format) images. |
26 |
|
27 |
Affected packages |
28 |
================= |

Description |
36 |
=========== |
37 |
|
38 |
Two vulnerabilities have been reported in libTIFF: |
39 |
|
40 |
* wololo reported a buffer underflow in the LZWDecodeCompat() |
41 |
function (CVE-2009-2285). |
42 |
|
43 |
* Tielei Wang of ICST-ERCIS, Peking University reported two integer |
44 |
overflows leading to heap-based buffer overflows in the tiff2rgba and |
45 |
rgb2ycbcr tools (CVE-2009-2347). |
46 |
|
47 |
Impact |
48 |
====== |
49 |
|
50 |
A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted TIFF |
51 |
file with an application making use of libTIFF or the tiff2rgba and |
52 |
rgb2ycbcr tools, possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary code |
53 |
with the privileges of the user running the application. |
54 |
|
55 |
Workaround |
56 |
========== |
57 |
|
58 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
59 |
|
60 |
Resolution |
61 |
========== |
62 |
|
63 |
All libTIFF users should upgrade to the latest version: |
64 |
|
65 |
# emerge --sync |
66 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-libs/tiff-3.8.2-r8" |
67 |
