Test ID:	1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.56699
Category:	Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:	Ubuntu USN-277-1 (tiff)
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing an update to tiff announced via advisory USN-277-1. A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases: Ubuntu 5.04 (Hoary Hedgehog) Ubuntu 5.10 (Breezy Badger) The following packages are affected: libtiff4 Tavis Ormandy and Andrey Kiselev discovered that libtiff did not sufficiently verify the validity of TIFF files. By tricking an user into opening a specially crafted TIFF file with any application that uses libtiff, an attacker could exploit this to crash the application or even execute arbitrary code with the application's privileges. Solution: The problem can be corrected by upgrading the affected package to version 3.6.1-5ubuntu0.3 (for Ubuntu 5.04), or 3.7.3-1ubuntu1.1 (for Ubuntu 5.10). After a standard system upgrade you need to reboot your computer to effect the necessary changes, since this library is used by many client and server applications. http://www.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=USN-277-1 Risk factor : High CVSS Score: 6.5
