[GLSA-200412-17] kfax: Multiple overflows in the included TIFF library |
||
kfax: Multiple overflows in the included TIFF library Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200412-17 (kfax: Multiple overflows in the included TIFF library) Than Ngo discovered that kfax contains a private copy of the TIFF library and is therefore subject to several known vulnerabilities (see References). Impact A remote attacker could entice a user to view a carefully-crafted TIFF image file with kfax, which would potentially lead to execution of arbitrary code with the rights of the user running kfax. Workaround The KDE Team recommends to remove the kfax binary as well as the kfaxpart.la KPart: rm /usr/kde/3.*/lib/kde3/kfaxpart.la rm /usr/kde/3.*/bin/kfax Note: This will render the kfax functionality useless, if kfax functionality is needed you should upgrade to the KDE 3.3.2 which is not stable at the time of this writing. There is no known workaround at this time.
