Ubuntu Security Notice 3212-4 - USN-3212-1 fixed several issues in LibTIFF. This update provides a subset of corresponding update for Ubuntu 12.04 ESM. Mei Wang discovered a multiple integer overflows in LibTIFF which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code via a crafted TIFF image, which triggers an out-of-bounds write. It was discovered that LibTIFF is vulnerable to a heap buffer overflow in the resulting in DoS or code execution via a crafted BitsPerSample value. Various other issues were also addressed.
