Description

This security bulletin contains information about 3 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2009-5022)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in Heap-based buffer overflow in tif_ojpeg.c in the OJPEG decoder in LibTIFF before 3.9.5. A remote attacker can use a crafted TIFF file. to trigger heap-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.


2) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2010-4665)

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to perform service disruption.

Integer overflow in the ReadDirectory function in tiffdump.c in tiffdump in LibTIFF before 3.9.5 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted TIFF file containing a directory data structure with many directory entries.


3) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2011-1167)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in Heap-based buffer overflow in the thunder (aka ThunderScan) decoder in tif_thunder.c in LibTIFF 3.9.4 and earlier. A remote attacker can use crafted THUNDER_2BITDELTAS data in a .tiff file that has an unexpected BitsPerSample value. to trigger heap-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
