Detail
| Product: Solaris 9 Operating System, Solaris 10 Operating System, Solaris 8 Operating System Multiple security vulnerabilities exist in the Tag Image File format library (libtiff(3)) which may affect applications making use of this library. Depending on the individual application, these vulnerabilities may allow a local or remote unprivileged user to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) to the application, or to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the application. These issues are described in the following documents:
Sun acknowledges with thanks, Travis Ormandy from the Google Security Team for reporting these issues. Avoidance: Patch, Workaround State: Workaround First released: 28-Nov-2007 |

| 27726 | LibTIFF NeXT RLE Decoder Image Handling Overflow A local overflow exists in LibTIFF. The NeXT RLE decoder fails to validate RLE image files resulting in a heap overflow. With a specially crafted file, an attacker can cause arbitrary code execution resulting in a loss of integrity. |
| 27725 | LibTIFF PixarLog Decoder Unspecified Overflow A local overflow exists in LibTIFF. The PixarLog decoder fails to validate TIFF image files resulting in a heap overflow. With a specially crafted file, an attacker can cause arbitrary code execution resulting in a loss of integrity. |

| 27723 | LibTIFF tif_dirread.c TIFFFetchShortPair Function Overflow A local overflow exists in LibTIFF. The TIFFFetchShortPair function fails to validate TIFF image files resulting in a stack overflow. With a specially crafted file, an attacker can cause arbitrary code execution resulting in a loss of integrity. |
