Description Agostino Sarubbo gentoo-dev 2012-06-20 16:26:45 UTC
From secunia security advisory at $URL:

Description
A vulnerability has been reported in LibTIFF, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise an application using the library.

The vulnerability is caused due to an integer overflow error in the "tiff2pdf" utility when parsing images and can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow via a specially crafted TIFF image.

Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code, but requires tricking a user into converting a malicious image.

The vulnerability is reported in versions prior to 4.0.2.


Solution
Update to version 4.0.2.

@graphics, Steve: this issue appears to affect all versions of libtiff and there is also another issue only affecting 3.x [1]. Are there any plans for 3.x? Thanks.

CVE-2012-2113 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2012-2113):
  Multiple integer overflows in tiff2pdf in libtiff before 4.0.2 allow remote
  attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly
  execute arbitrary code via a crafted tiff image, which triggers a heap-based
  buffer overflow.

CVE-2012-2088 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2012-2088):
  Integer signedness error in the TIFFReadDirectory function in tif_dirread.c
  in libtiff 3.9.4 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of
  service (application crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a
  negative tile depth in a tiff image, which triggers an improper conversion
  between signed and unsigned types, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow.
