Detail

A buffer overflow was discovered in libtiff which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted TIFF image with CCITT Group 4 encoding (CVE-2011-0192).

Additionally it was discovered that the fixes for CVE-2009-2347 and CVE-2010-2065 were incomplete for Mandriva Linux 2010.0 and 2010.2 and being resolved as well.

Packages for 2009.0 are provided as of the Extended Maintenance Program. Please visit this link to learn more: http://store.mandriva.com/product_info.php?cPath=149&products_id=490

The updated packages have been patched to correct these issues.

Title: Multiple integer overflows in inter-color spaces conversion tools in libtiff 3.8 through 3.8.2, 3.9, and 4.0 allow context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via a TIFF image with large (1) width and (2) height values, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow in the (a) cvt_whole_image function in tiff2rgba and (b) tiffcvt function in rgb2ycbcr.
