+ <title>libTIFF: Buffer overflow</title>
+ <synopsis>
+ The libTIFF library is vulnerable to a buffer overflow, potentially
+ resulting in the execution of arbitrary code.

+ libTIFF provides support for reading and manipulating TIFF (Tag Image
+ File Format) images.

+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Tavis Ormandy of the Gentoo Linux Security Audit Team discovered a
+ stack based buffer overflow in the libTIFF library when reading a TIFF
+ image with a malformed BitsPerSample tag.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ Successful exploitation would require the victim to open a specially
+ crafted TIFF image, resulting in the execution of arbitrary code.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All libTIFF users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=media-libs/tiff-3.7.2&quot;</code>
