Category:	Debian Local Security Checks
Title:	Debian: Security Advisory (DSA-2575-1)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'tiff' package(s) announced via the DSA-2575-1 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'tiff' package(s) announced via the DSA-2575-1 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: It was discovered that ppm2tiff of the TIFF tools, a set of utilities for TIFF manipulation and conversion, is not properly checking the return value of an internal function used in order to detect integer overflows. As a consequence, ppm2tiff suffers of a heap-based buffer overflow. This allows attacker to potentially execute arbitrary code via a crafted PPM image, especially in scenarios in which images are automatically processed. For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in version 3.9.4-5+squeeze7. For the testing distribution (wheezy), this problem will be fixed soon. For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 4.0.2-5. We recommend that you upgrade your tiff packages. Affected Software/OS: 'tiff' package(s) on Debian 6. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 6.8 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P
