Detail

A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:

Ubuntu 5.04 (Hoary Hedgehog) Ubuntu 5.10 (Breezy Badger)

The following packages are affected:

libtiff4

The problem can be corrected by upgrading the affected package to version 3.6.1-5ubuntu0.3 (for Ubuntu 5.04), or 3.7.3-1ubuntu1.1 (for Ubuntu 5.10). After a standard system upgrade you need to reboot your computer to effect the necessary changes, since this library is used by many client and server applications.

Details follow:

Tavis Ormandy and Andrey Kiselev discovered that libtiff did not sufficiently verify the validity of TIFF files. By tricking an user into opening a specially crafted TIFF file with any application that uses libtiff, an attacker could exploit this to crash the application or even execute arbitrary code with the application's privileges.
