The libtiff packages contain a library of functions for manipulating Tagged
Image File Format (TIFF) files.
Multiple uses of uninitialized values were discovered in libtiff’s
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)
Red Hat would like to thank Drew Yao of the Apple Product Security team for
reporting this issue.
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)
Additionally, these updated packages fix the following bug:
All libtiff users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
contain backported patches to resolve these issues.
