Detail

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 12.10 - Ubuntu 12.04 LTS - Ubuntu 11.10 - Ubuntu 10.04 LTS - Ubuntu 8.04 LTS

Summary:

LibTIFF could be made to crash or run programs as your login if it opened a specially crafted file.

Software Description: - tiff: Tag Image File Format (TIFF) library

Details:

It was discovered that LibTIFF incorrectly handled certain malformed images using the PixarLog compression format. If a user or automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted TIFF image, a remote attacker could crash the application, leading to a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code with user privileges. (CVE-2012-4447)

Huzaifa S. Sidhpurwala discovered that the ppm2tiff tool incorrectly handled certain malformed PPM images. If a user or automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted PPM image, a remote attacker could crash the application, leading to a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code with user privileges. (CVE-2012-4564)

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions:

Ubuntu 12.10:
libtiff5 4.0.2-1ubuntu2.1

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS:
libtiff4 3.9.5-2ubuntu1.3

Ubuntu 11.10:
libtiff4 3.9.5-1ubuntu1.4

Ubuntu 10.04 LTS:
libtiff4 3.9.2-2ubuntu0.11

Ubuntu 8.04 LTS:
libtiff4 3.8.2-7ubuntu3.14

In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.

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.
