Oracle Solaris Third-Party Patch Update : gimp (cve_2012_4564_design_error)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 80623

Synopsis

The remote Solaris system is missing a security patch for third-party software.

Description

The remote Solaris system is missing necessary patches to address security updates :

- ppm2tiff does not check the return value of the TIFFScanlineSize function, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted PPM image that triggers an integer overflow, a zero-memory allocation, and a heap-based buffer overflow. (CVE-2012-4564)

Solution

Upgrade to Solaris 11.1.7.5.0.
