Detail

Problem Description:

Updated libtiff packages that fix several security flaws are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

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 (Advanced Server) version 2.1 - i386, ia64 Red Hat Linux Advanced Workstation 2.1 - ia64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES version 2.1 - i386 Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS version 2.1 - i386 Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS version 3 - i386, ia64, ppc, s390, s390x, x86_64 Red Hat Desktop version 3 - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES version 3 - i386, ia64, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS version 3 - i386, ia64, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS version 4 - i386, ia64, ppc, 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.

An integer overflow flaw was discovered 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 or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2006-2025)

A double free flaw was discovered 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 or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2006-2026)

Several denial of service flaws were discovered 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. (CVE-2006-2024, CVE-2006-2120)

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 all previously released errata relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via Red Hat Network. To use Red Hat Network, launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command:

up2date

This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate RPMs being upgraded on your system.

5. Bug IDs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/):

189933 - CVE-2006-2024 multiple libtiff issues (CVE-2006-2025, CVE-2006-2026) 189974 - CVE-2006-2120 libtiff DoS
