CVE-2006-3459 tiff vulnerabilities
Title: tiff vulnerabilities
Summary: tiff vulnerabilities
Tavis Ormandy discovered that the TIFF library did not sufficiently
check handled images for validity. By tricking an user or an automated
system into processing a specially crafted TIFF image, an attacker
could exploit these weaknesses to execute arbitrary code with the
target application's privileges.
This library is used in many client and server applications, thus you
should reboot your computer after the upgrade to ensure that all
running programs use the new version of the library.
Instructions: After a standard system upgrade you need to reboot your computer to
effect the necessary changes.

The EstimateStripByteCounts function in TIFF library (libtiff) before 3.8.2 uses a 16-bit unsigned short when iterating over an unsigned 32-bit value, which allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service via a large td_nstrips value, which triggers an infinite loop.

Hi there, Google have sponsored me to perform a security audit of
libtiff-3.8.2, in which a number of critical security flaws have been
uncovered. These flaws could be leveraged by an attacker to compromise
or disrupt any services that support the processing of tiff images.
Several buffer overflows have been discovered, including a stack
buffer overflow via TIFFFetchShortPair() in tif_dirread.c, which is
used to read two unsigned shorts from the input file. While a bounds
check is performed via CheckDirCount(), no action is taken on the
