-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2011-5991 2011-04-26 15:28:46 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : mingw32-libtiff Product : Fedora 15 Version : 3.9.5 Release : 1.fc15 URL : http://www.remotesensing.org/libtiff/ Summary : MinGW Windows port of the LibTIFF library Description : The libtiff package contains a library of functions for manipulating TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) image format files. TIFF is a widely used file format for bitmapped images. TIFF files usually end in the .tif extension and they are often quite large. The libtiff package should be installed if you need to manipulate TIFF format image files. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: Update MinGW Windows cross-compiled libtiff to 3.9.5, incorporating most of our previous patches. Includes a fix for CVE-2011-1167: A flaw was reported in libtiff's thunder decoder. The thunder decoder assumes 4bits per pixel, but if a file has bitpersample set to a smaller value, or defaulted (1) then the allocated strip buffer will be too small, and a heap-based buffer overlow may occur. This could be used to crash an application linked to libtiff, or execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the application opening a malicious TIFF file. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #684939 - CVE-2011-1167 libtiff: heap-based buffer overflow in thunder decoder (ZDI-11-107) https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=684939 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program. Use su -c 'yum update mingw32-libtiff' at the command line. For more information, refer to "Managing Software with yum", available at http://docs.fedoraproject.org/yum/.
