Check for the version of the libtiff/tiff package Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The remote host is missing the patch for the advisory SUSE-SA:2005:001 (libtiff/tiff). Libtiff supports reading, writing, and manipulating of TIFF image files. iDEFENSE reported an integer overflow in libtiff that can be exploited by specific TIFF images to trigger a heap-based buffer overflow afterwards. This bug can be used by external attackers to execute arbitrary code over the network by placing special image files on web-pages and alike. Additionally a buffer overflow in tiffdump was fixed.
