DSA-1091-1 tiff Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment Several problems have been discovered in the TIFF library. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following issues: SuSE discovered a buffer overflow in the conversion of TIFF files into PDF documents which could be exploited when tiff2pdf is used e.g. in a printer filter. The tiffsplit command from the TIFF library contains a buffer overflow in the commandline handling which could be exploited when the program is executed automatically on unknown filenames. For the old stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 3.5.5-7woody2. For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in version 3.7.2-5. For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in version 3.8.2-4. We recommend that you upgrade your tiff packages.
