Category:Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:Mandrake Security Advisory MDKSA-2005:142 (libtiff)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

announced via advisory MDKSA-2005:142.

validate the YCbCr subsampling value in TIFF image headers. Decoding
a malicious image with a zero value resulted in an arithmetic exception,
which can cause a program that uses the TIFF library to crash.

The updated packages are patched to protect against this vulnerability.

Affected versions: 10.0, 10.1, 10.2, Corporate 3.0,
Corporate Server 2.1,

Multi Network Firewall 2.0

Solution:

of md5 checksums and GPG signatures is performed automatically for you.
