Detail
| Problem Description: Updated libtiff packages that fix various integer overflows are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4. This update has been rated as having important security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team 2. Relevant releases/architectures: Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS version 4 - i386, ia64, ppc, ppc64, s390, s390x, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop version 4 - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES version 4 - i386, ia64, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS version 4 - i386, ia64, x86_64 3. Problem description: The libtiff package contains a library of functions for manipulating TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) image format files. infamous41md discovered integer overflow flaws in libtiff. An attacker could create a carefully crafted TIFF file in such a way that it could cause an application linked with libtiff to overflow a heap buffer when the file was opened by a victim. Due to the nature of the overflow it is unlikely that it is possible to use this flaw to execute arbitrary code. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2004-1308 to this issue. Dmitry V. Levin discovered an integer overflow flaw in libtiff. An attacker could create a carefully crafted TIFF file in such a way that it could cause an application linked with libtiff to crash. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2004-1183 to this issue. All users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported fixes for these issues. 4. Solution: Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied. Use Red Hat Network to download and update your packages. To launch the Red Hat Update Agent, use the following command: up2date For information on how to install packages manually, refer to the following Web page for the System Administration or Customization guide specific to your system: http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/ 5. Bug IDs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/): 144185 - CAN-2004-1308 LibTIFF Directory Entry Count Integer Overflow Vulnerability 144186 - CAN-2004-1183 libtiff integer overflow |

| Id | Description |
|---|---|
| 12724 | LibTIFF tiffdump Utility Overflow A remote overflow exists in LibTIFF. LibTIFF fails to properly check into to the tiffdump utility resulting in a integer overflow. With a specially crafted request, an attacker can cause execution of arbitrary code resulting in a loss of integrity. |
| 12555 | LibTIFF Directory Entry Count Remote Overflow A local overflow exists in LibTIFF. The tdir_count variable is not validated before being passed to CheckMalloc() resulting in a heap overflow. With a specially crafted request, a malicious user can cause arbitrary code execution resulting in a loss of integrity. |
