DSA-2575-1 tiff -- heap-based buffer overflowID: oval:org.secpod.oval:def:600916 | Date: (C)2012-11-20 (M)2023-02-20 |
Class: PATCH | Family: unix |
It was discovered that ppm2tiff of the tiff tools, a set of utilities for TIFF manipulation and conversion, is not properly checking the return value of an internal function used in order to detect integer overflows. As a consequence, ppm2tiff suffers of a heap-based buffer overflow. This allows attacker to potentially execute arbitrary code via a crafted ppm image, especially in scenarios in which images are automatically processed.
