Descriptions
The LZW decompressor in the gif2tiff tool in libtiff 4.0.3 and earlier allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds write and crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted GIF image.
El decompresor LZW en la utilidad gif2tiff de libtiff 4.0.3 y anteriores permite a un atacante dependiente de contexto causar una denegación de servicio (escritura fuera de rango y caída) o posiblemente ejecutar código a discrección a través de una imagen GIF manipulada.
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.
