Class: PATCH | Family: unix |
A vulnerability was found and corrected in libtiff: A stack-based buffer overflow was found in the way libtiff handled DOTRANGE tags. An attacker could use this flaw to create a specially-crafted TIFF file that, when opened, would cause an application linked against libtiff to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code . The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.
