MDVSA-2012:184 -- Mandriva libtiffID: oval:org.secpod.oval:def:302988 | Date: (C)2013-01-01 (M)2023-12-07 |
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.
