Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.69549
Category:Fedora Local Security Checks
Title:Fedora Core 14 FEDORA-2011-5962 (mingw32-libtiff)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:
The remote host is missing an update to mingw32-libtiff
announced via advisory FEDORA-2011-5962.

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.

Solution: Apply the appropriate updates.
