+ <title>tiff: New overflows in image decoding</title>
+ <synopsis>
+ An integer overflow has been found in the TIFF library image decoding
+ routines and the tiffdump utility, potentially allowing arbitrary code
+ execution.

+ <background>
+ <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 applications, to interpret TIFF images.

+ infamous41md found a potential integer overflow in the directory
+ entry count routines of the TIFF library (CAN-2004-1308). Dmitry V.
+ Levin found another similar issue in the tiffdump utility
+ (CAN-2004-1183).
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <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 many 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 --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=media-libs/tiff-3.7.1-r1"</code>
