Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2013-208 - A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the way tiff2pdf of libtiff performed write of TIFF image content into particular PDF document file, in the tp_process_jpeg_strip() function. A remote attacker could provide a specially-crafted TIFF image format file, that when processed by tiff2pdf would lead to tiff2pdf executable crash or, potentially, arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the user running the tiff2pdf binary. A stack-based buffer overflow was found in the way tiff2pdf of libtiff performed write of TIFF image content into particular PDF document file, when malformed image-length and resolution values are used in the TIFF file. A remote attacker could provide a specially-crafted TIFF image format file, that when processed by tiff2pdf would lead to tiff2pdf executable crash.

Package : libtiff
Date : August 6, 2013
Affected: Business Server 1.0
_______________________________________________________________________

Problem Description:

Updated libtiff packages fix security vulnerabilities:

A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the way tiff2pdf of
libtiff performed write of TIFF image content into particular PDF
document file, in the tp_process_jpeg_strip() function. A remote
attacker could provide a specially-crafted TIFF image format file,
that when processed by tiff2pdf would lead to tiff2pdf executable
crash or, potentially, arbitrary code execution with the privileges
of the user running the tiff2pdf binary (CVE-2013-1960).

A stack-based buffer overflow was found in the way tiff2pdf of libtiff
performed write of TIFF image content into particular PDF document
file, when malformed image-length and resolution values are used in
the TIFF file. A remote attacker could provide a specially-crafted
TIFF image format file, that when processed by tiff2pdf would lead
to tiff2pdf executable crash (CVE-2013-1961).
