The Debian 'tiff' package on Debian 6 is missing an update announced via DSA-2575-1 advisory. The 'ppm2tiff' tool suffers from a heap-based buffer overflow, allowing potential execution of arbitrary code via crafted PPM images

As a consequence, ppm2tiff suffers of a heap-based buffer overflow. This allows attacker to potentially execute arbitrary code via a crafted PPM image, especially in scenarios in which images are automatically processed.

For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in version 3.9.4-5+squeeze7.

For the testing distribution (wheezy), this problem will be fixed soon.

For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 4.0.2-5.

We recommend that you upgrade your tiff packages.");
