+ <title>tiff: Buffer overflows in image decoding</title>
+ <synopsis>
+ Multiple heap-based overflows have been found in the tiff library image
+ decoding routines, potentially allowing to execute arbitrary code with the
+ rights of the user viewing a malicious image.

+ <p>
+ The tiff library contains encoding and decoding routines for the Tag Image
+ File Format. It is called by numerous programs, including GNOME and KDE, to
+ help in displaying TIFF images. xv is a multi-format image manipulation
+ utility that is statically linked to the tiff library.

+ Chris Evans found heap-based overflows in RLE decoding routines in
+ tif_next.c, tif_thunder.c and potentially tif_luv.c.

+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ A remote attacker could entice a user to view a carefully crafted TIFF
+ image file, which would potentially lead to execution of arbitrary code
+ with the rights of the user viewing the image. This affects any program
+ that makes use of the tiff library, including GNOME and KDE web browsers or
+ mail readers.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All tiff library users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge sync
+
+ # emerge -pv "&gt;=media-libs/tiff-3.6.1-r2"
+ # emerge "&gt;=media-libs/tiff-3.6.1-r2"</code>
+ <p>
+ xv makes use of the tiff library and needs to be recompiled to receive the
+ new patched version of the library. All xv users should also upgrade to the
+ latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge sync
+
+ # emerge -pv "&gt;=media-gfx/xv-3.10a-r8"
+ # emerge "&gt;=media-gfx/xv-3.10a-r8"</code>
