Descriptions

Multiple buffer overflows in libtiff before 4.0.3 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds write) via a crafted (1) extension block in a GIF image or (2) GIF raster image to tools/gif2tiff.c or (3) a long filename for a TIFF image to tools/rgb2ycbcr.c. NOTE: vectors 1 and 3 are disputed by Red Hat, which states that the input cannot exceed the allocated buffer size.

Múltiples desbordamientos de búfer en libtiff anterior a 4.0.3 que permite a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio (escritura fuera de rango) a través de (1) bloque de extensión en una imagen GIF manipulado o (2) el raster de la imagen GIF a tools/gif2tiff. c o (3) un nombre de archivo largo de una imagen TIFF a tools/rgb2ycbcr.c para. NOTA: los vectores 1 y 3 están en disputa por parte de Red Hat, que establece que la entrada no se puede superar el tamaño de búfer asignado.

Pedro Ribeiro discovered that LibTIFF incorrectly handled certain malformed images when using the gif2tiff tool. If a user or automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted GIF image, a remote attacker could crash the application, leading to a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code with user privileges. This issue only affected Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, Ubuntu 12.10 and Ubuntu 13.10.
