aru Posted June 16, 2006 Report Share Posted June 16, 2006 Mandriva Advisories MDKSA-2006:102 : libtiff Updated libtiff packages fixes tiff2pdf vulnerability June 14th, 2006 A buffer overflow in the t2p_write_pdf_string function in tiff2pdf in libtiff 3.8.2 and earlier allows 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. The released versions of Mandriva GNU/Linux affected are: 10.2 2006.0 Full information about this advisory, including the updated packages, is available at: www.mandriva.com/security/advisories?name=MDKSA-2006:102 Other references: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-2193 Posted automatically by aru (mdksec2mub v: mdksec2mub,v 1.2 2006/06/01 20:04:28 pituko Exp $) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
