Description David Walser 2012-12-07 01:27:04 CET

Ubuntu has issued an advisory on December 5:
http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-1655-1/

Cauldron is not affected as this was fixed in 4.0.2 upstream.

Patched package uploaded for Mageia 2.

Patch also committed to Mageia 1 SVN.

Advisory:
========================

Updated libtiff packages fix security vulnerability:

It was discovered that LibTIFF incorrectly handled certain malformed
images using the DOTRANGE tag. If a user or automated system were
tricked into opening a specially crafted TIFF image, a remote attacker
could crash the application, leading to a denial of service, or possibly
execute arbitrary code with user privileges (CVE-2012-5581).
