PROBLEM:	Vulnerabilities were discovered in libtiff, the Tag Image file Format library for processing TIFF graphics files.
PLATFORM:	Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 alias woody Red Hat Desktop (v. 3) Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS, ES, WS (v. 2.1) and (v. 3) Red Hat Linux Advanced Workstation 2.1 for the Itanium Processor SGI ProPack 3 Service Pack 1 SGI ProPack 3 Service Pack 5 Mac OS X v10.2.x and v10.3.x Mac OS X Servers v10.2.x and v10.3.x Solaris 7, 8, 9 and 10
DAMAGE:	An attacker could prepare a specially crafted TIFF graphic that would cause a client to execute arbitrary code or crash.
SOLUTION:	Apply the available package updates.

VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT:	The risk is LOW. An attacker must entice a user to open a malicious file with an application that uses a vulnerable TIFF graphics files. Opening the file may then cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the running application.

[***** Start Debian Security Advisory DSA 567-1 *****] Debian Security Advisory DSA-567-1 tiff -- heap overflows Date Reported: 15 Oct 2004 Affected Packages: tiff Vulnerable: Yes Security database references: In Mitre's CVE dictionary: CAN-2004-0803, CAN-2004-0804, CAN-2004-0886. More information: Several problems have been discovered in libtiff, the Tag Image File Format library for processing TIFF graphics files. An attacker could prepare a specially crafted TIFF graphic that would cause the client to execute arbitrary code or crash. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures Project has identified the following problems: CAN-2004-0803 Chris Evans discovered several problems in the RLE (run length encoding) decoders that could lead to arbitrary code execution. CAN-2004-0804 Matthias Clasen discovered a division by zero through an integer overflow. CAN-2004-0886 Dmitry V. Levin discovered several integer overflows that caused malloc issues which can result to either plain crash or memory corruption. For the stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in version 3.5.5-6woody1. For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in version 3.6.1-2. We recommend that you upgrade your libtiff package. Fixed in: Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 (woody)
