Debian DLA-877-1 : tiff security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 99043

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

libtiff is vulnerable to multiple buffer overflows and integer overflows that can lead to application crashes (denial of service) or worse.

CVE-2016-10266

Integer overflow that can lead to divide-by-zero in TIFFReadEncodedStrip (tif_read.c).

CVE-2016-10267

Divide-by-zero error in OJPEGDecodeRaw (tif_ojpeg.c). CVE-2016-10268

Heap-based buffer overflow in TIFFReverseBits (tif_swab.c).

CVE-2016-10269

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 4.0.2-6+deb7u11.

We recommend that you upgrade your tiff packages.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Upgrade the affected packages.
