Detail

Problem Description:

Updated kdegraphics packages that resolve multiple security issues in kfax are now available.

This update has been rated as having moderate 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

3. Problem description:

The kdegraphics package contains graphics applications for the K Desktop Environment.

During a source code audit, Chris Evans discovered a number of integer overflow bugs that affect libtiff. The kfax application contains a copy of the libtiff code used for parsing TIFF files and is therefore affected by these bugs. An attacker who has the ability to trick a user into opening a malicious TIFF file could cause kfax to crash or possibly execute arbitrary code. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the names CAN-2004-0886 and CAN-2004-0804 to these issues.

Additionally, a number of buffer overflow bugs that affect libtiff have been found. The kfax application contains a copy of the libtiff code used for parsing TIFF files and is therefore affected by these bugs. An attacker who has the ability to trick a user into opening a malicious TIFF file could cause kfax to crash or possibly execute arbitrary code. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2004-0803 to this issue.

Users of kfax should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches and are not vulnerable to this issue.

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:

Open Source Vulnerability Database (OSVDB)

Id Description
10909 LibTIFF tif_dirread Malformed Image Overflow DoS

A remote overflow exists in libTIFF. LibTIFF divides by zero when receiving a TIFF image where the row bytes are equal to zero resulting in a integer overflow. With a specially crafted TIFF image, an attacker can cause the application to crash resulting in a loss of availability.
10751 LibTIFF Unspecified Image Processing Overflow

LibTiff contains unspecified integer overflows that may allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service. No further details have been provided.
10750 LibTIFF RLE Image Decoding Multiple Local Overflows

A local overflow exists in LibTIFF. LibTIFF fails to decode a specially crafted image resulting in a heap-based overflow during RLE decoding in tif_next.c and in tif_thunder.c. There may be heap-based overflows when doing RLE decoding in tif_luv.c. With a specially crafted image, an attacker can cause a buffer overflow resulting in a loss of integrity.
