The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201209-02 (libTIFF: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in libTIFF. Please review       the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
  Impact :

    A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted TIFF       file with an application making use of libTIFF, possibly resulting in       execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the       application or a Denial of Service condition.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version MAIN 6.02, has libtiff packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - Buffer overflow in the t2p_write_pdf_string function in tiff2pdf in libtiff 3.8.2 and earlier allows     attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a TIFF file with a     DocumentName tag that contains UTF-8 characters, which triggers the overflow when a character is sign     extended to an integer that produces more digits than expected in an sprintf call. (CVE-2006-2193)

  - Heap-based buffer overflow in the JPEG decoder in the TIFF library (libtiff) before 3.8.2 allows context-     dependent attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via an encoded JPEG     stream that is longer than the scan line size (TiffScanLineSize). (CVE-2006-3460)

  - Heap-based buffer overflow in the PixarLog decoder in the TIFF library (libtiff) before 3.8.2 might allow     context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via unknown vectors. (CVE-2006-3461)

  - Heap-based buffer overflow in the NeXT RLE decoder in the TIFF library (libtiff) before 3.8.2 might allow     context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via unknown vectors involving decoding large RLE     images. (CVE-2006-3462)

  - The EstimateStripByteCounts function in TIFF library (libtiff) before 3.8.2 uses a 16-bit unsigned short     when iterating over an unsigned 32-bit value, which allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial     of service via a large td_nstrips value, which triggers an infinite loop. (CVE-2006-3463)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

A buffer overflow was discovered in libtiff which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted TIFF image with CCITT Group 4 encoding (CVE-2011-0192).

Additionally it was discovered that the fixes for CVE-2009-2347 and CVE-2010-2065 were incomplete for Mandriva Linux 2010.0 and 2010.2 and being resolved as well.

Packages for 2009.0 are provided as of the Extended Maintenance Program. Please visit this link to learn more:

The updated packages have been patched to correct these issues.

Multiple vulnerabilities has been discovered and corrected in libtiff :

The TIFFYCbCrtoRGB function in LibTIFF 3.9.0 and 3.9.2, as used in ImageMagick, does not properly handle invalid ReferenceBlackWhite values, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted TIFF image that triggers an array index error, related to downsampled OJPEG input. (CVE-2010-2595)

Multiple integer overflows in the Fax3SetupState function in tif_fax3.c in the FAX3 decoder in LibTIFF before 3.9.3 allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted TIFF file that triggers a heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-2010-1411).

Integer overflow in the TIFFroundup macro in LibTIFF before 3.9.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted TIFF file that triggers a buffer overflow (CVE-2010-2065).

The TIFFRGBAImageGet function in LibTIFF 3.9.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and application crash) via a TIFF file with an invalid combination of SamplesPerPixel and Photometric values (CVE-2010-2483).

The TIFFVStripSize function in tif_strip.c in LibTIFF 3.9.0 and 3.9.2 makes incorrect calls to the TIFFGetField function, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted TIFF image, related to downsampled OJPEG input and possibly related to a compiler optimization that triggers a divide-by-zero error (CVE-2010-2597).

The TIFFExtractData macro in LibTIFF before 3.9.4 does not properly handle unknown tag types in TIFF directory entries, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and application crash) via a crafted TIFF file (CVE-2010-248).

Stack-based buffer overflow in the TIFFFetchSubjectDistance function in tif_dirread.c in LibTIFF before 3.9.4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a long EXIF SubjectDistance field in a TIFF file (CVE-2010-2067).

tif_getimage.c in LibTIFF 3.9.0 and 3.9.2 on 64-bit platforms, as used in ImageMagick, does not properly perform vertical flips, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted TIFF image, related to downsampled OJPEG input. (CVE-2010-2233).

LibTIFF 3.9.4 and earlier does not properly handle an invalid td_stripbytecount field, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and application crash) via a crafted TIFF file, a different vulnerability than CVE-2010-2443 (CVE-2010-2482).

The updated packages have been patched to correct these issues.

New libtiff packages are available for Slackware 9.0, 9.1, 10.0, 10.1, 10.2, 11.0, 12.0, 12.1, 12.2, 13.0, 13.1, and -current to fix security issues.

Fix numerous crashing bugs, including CVE-2010-1411, CVE-2010-2065, CVE-2010-2067, and CVE-2010-2233

The updated packages have been patched to correct these issues.

Kevin Finisterre discovered that the TIFF library did not correctly handle certain image structures. If a user or automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted TIFF image, a remote attacker could execute arbitrary code with user privileges, or crash the application, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2010-1411)

Dan Rosenberg and Sauli Pahlman discovered multiple flaws in the TIFF library. If a user or automated system were into opening a specially crafted TIFF image, a remote attacker could execute arbitrary code with user privileges, or crash the application, leading to a denial of service. (Only Ubuntu 10.04 LTS was affected.) (CVE-2010-2065, CVE-2010-2067).
