Packages

• tiff - TIFF image manipulation library

Details

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)
