[GLSA-200501-06] tiff: New overflows in image decoding |
||
tiff: New overflows in image decoding Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200501-06 (tiff: New overflows in image decoding) infamous41md found a potential integer overflow in the directory entry count routines of the TIFF library (CVE-2004-1308). Dmitry V. Levin found another similar issue in the tiffdump utility (CVE-2004-1183). Impact A remote attacker could entice a user to view a carefully crafted TIFF image file, which would potentially lead to execution of arbitrary code with the rights of the user viewing the image. This affects any program that makes use of the TIFF library, including many web browsers or mail readers. Workaround There is no known workaround at this time.
