CVE-2013-4231 [MEDIUM] LibTIFF vulnerabilities
Title: LibTIFF vulnerabilities
Summary: LibTIFF could be made to crash or run programs as your login if it opened a
specially crafted file.
Pedro Ribeiro discovered that LibTIFF incorrectly handled certain
malformed images when using the gif2tiff tool. If a user or automated
system were tricked into opening a specially crafted GIF image, a remote
attacker could crash the application, leading to a denial of service, or
possibly execute arbitrary code with user privileges. This issue only
affected Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, Ubunu 12.04 LTS, Ubuntu 12.10 and Ubuntu 13.10.

CVE-2013-4244 libtiff (gif2tiff): OOB Write in LZW decompressor
An OOB Write was found in the LZW decompressor used in gif2tiff, a tool to convert GIF images to TIFF. A remote attacker could provide a specially-crafted GIF file that, when processed by gif2tiff, would cause gif2tiff to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running gif2tiff.
