Description Agostino Sarubbo gentoo-dev 2017-07-12 14:51:42 UTC
From ${URL} :

In LibTIFF 4.0.8, there is a heap-based buffer overflow in the
t2p_write_pdf function in tools/tiff2pdf.c. This heap overflow could
lead to different damages. For example, a crafted TIFF document can
lead to an out-of-bounds read in TIFFCleanup, an invalid free in
TIFFClose or t2p_free, memory corruption in t2p_readwrite_pdf_image, or
a double free in t2p_free. Given these possibilities, it probably could
cause arbitrary code execution.

@maintainer(s): after the bump, in case we need to stabilize the package, please let us know if it is ready for the stabilization or not.

AFAIK this is only partly the fix.

Upstream https://gitlab.com/libtiff/libtiff/commit/d4f213636b6f950498a1386083199bd7f65676b9 is also needed.
