Multiple security vulnerabilities have been found in libtiff(3), a library for reading and writing Tag Image File Format (TIFF) files. These vulnerabilities may allow a local or remote unprivileged user to create a carefully crafted LZW-encoded TIFF file that may cause an application linked with libtiff(3) to crash or possibly execute arbitrary code.

These issues are also described in the following document:

Title: RHSA-2008:0847 -- libtiff security and bug fix update (Important)
Description: Updated libtiff packages that fix a security issue and a bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5. This update has been rated as having important security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team. The libtiff packages contain a library of functions for manipulating Tagged Image File Format (TIFF) files. Multiple uses of uninitialized values were discovered in libtiff's Lempel-Ziv-Welch (LZW) compression algorithm decoder. An attacker could create a carefully crafted LZW-encoded TIFF file that would cause an application linked with libtiff to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2008-2327)
