Descriptions
An issue was discovered in LibTIFF 4.0.9. There are two out-of-bounds writes in cpTags in tools/tiff2bw.c and tools/pal2rgb.c, which can cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted image file.
Se ha descubierto un problema en LibTIFF 4.0.9. Hay dos escrituras fuera de límites en cpTags en tools tiff2bw.c y tools pal2rgb.c que pueden provocar una denegación de servicio (cierre inesperado de la aplicación) o, posiblemente, otro tipo de impacto sin especificar mediante un archivo de imagen manipulado.
USN-3906-1 and USN-3864-1 fixed several vulnerabilities in LibTIFF. This update provides the corresponding update for Ubuntu 12.04 ESM. It was discovered that LibTIFF incorrectly handled certain malformed images. If a user or automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted image, a remote attacker could crash the application, leading to a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code with user privileges. Various other issues were also addressed.
