Mandriva Update for libtiff MDVSA-2012:101 (libtiff)

The remote host is missing an update for the 'libtiff' package(s) announced via the referenced advisory.

Multiple vulnerabilities has been discovered and corrected in libtiff: libtiff did not properly convert between signed and unsigned integer values, leading to a buffer overflow. An attacker could use this flaw to create a specially-crafted TIFF file that, when opened, would cause an application linked against libtiff to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code (CVE-2012-2088). Multiple integer overflow flaws, leading to heap-based buffer overflows, were found in the tiff2pdf tool. An attacker could use these flaws to create a specially-crafted TIFF file that would cause tiff2pdf to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code (CVE-2012-2113). The updated packages have been patched to correct these issues.

libtiff on Mandriva Linux 2011.0, Mandriva Enterprise Server 5.2, Mandriva Linux 2010.1
