MDKSA-2006:102: libtiff |

Check for the version of the libtiff package Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The remote host is missing the patch for the advisory MDKSA-2006:102 (libtiff). A buffer overflow in the t2p_write_pdf_string function in tiff2pdf in libtiff 3.8.2 and earlier permits attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a TIFF file with a DocumentName tag that contains UTF-8 characters, which triggers the overflow when a character is sign extended to an integer that produces more digits than expected in a sprintf call. Corporate Server 3 and Corporate Desktop 3 are not affected by this vulnerability as tiff2pdf was not part of the libtiff version shipped in those products. The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.
