Synopsis: Important: libtiff security update Issue Date: 2012-04-10 CVE Numbers: CVE-2012-1173 The libtiff packages contain a library of functions for manipulating Tagged Image File Format (TIFF) files. Two integer overflow flaws, leading to heap-based buffer overflows, were found in the way libtiff attempted to allocate space for a tile in a TIFF image file. An attacker could use these flaws to create a specially-crafted TIFF file that, when opened, would cause an application linked against libtiff to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2012-1173) All libtiff users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch to resolve these issues. All running applications linked against libtiff must be restarted for this update to take effect.
