Multiple uses of uninitialized values were discovered in libtiffβs Lempel-Ziv-Welch (LZW) compression algorithm decoder. An attacker could create a carefully crafted LZW-encoded TIFF file that would cause an application linked with libtiff to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2008-2327)
SL4: A buffer overflow flaw was discovered in the tiff2pdf conversion program distributed with libtiff. An attacker could create a TIFF file containing UTF-8 characters that would, when converted to PDF format, cause tiff2pdf to crash, or, possibly, execute arbitrary code.
(CVE-2006-2193)
SL4 & SL5: Additionally, these updated packages fix the following bug :
