CVE-2015-8784 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2015-8784): The NeXTDecode function in tif_next.c in LibTIFF allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds write) via a crafted TIFF image, as demonstrated by libtiff5.tif. Patch is not present in the 4.0.6 sources. @maintainer(s), please patch as it does not look like upstream is releasing an update anytime soon. Added to existing GLSA request. This issue was resolved and addressed in GLSA 201701-16 at https://security.gentoo.org/glsa/201701-16 by GLSA coordinator Thomas Deutschmann (whissi). |
