Detail

Multiple vulnerabilities was found and corrected in libtiff:

Heap-based buffer overflow in tif_pixarlog.c in LibTIFF before 4.0.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted TIFF image using the PixarLog Compression format (CVE-2012-4447).

ppm2tiff does not check the return value of the TIFFScanlineSize function, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted PPM image that triggers an integer overflow, a zero-memory allocation, and a heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-2012-4564).

The updated packages have been patched to correct these issues.

Title: DSA-2575-1 tiff - heap overflow
Description: It was discovered that ppm2tiff of the TIFF tools, a set of utilities for TIFF manipulation and conversion, is not properly checking the return value of an internal function used in order to detect integer overflows. As a consequence, ppm2tiff suffers of a heap-based buffer overflow. This allows attacker to potentially execute arbitrary code via a crafted PPM image, especially in scenarios in which images are automatically processed.
