Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.56886
Category:Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:Mandrake Security Advisory MDKSA-2006:095 (libtiff)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to libtiff
announced via advisory MDKSA-2006:095.

A stack-based buffer overflow in the tiffsplit command in libtiff 3.8.2
and earlier might might allow attackers to execute arbitrary code via a
long filename.

NOTE: tiffsplit is not setuid, and there may not be a common scenario under
which tiffsplit is called with attacker-controlled command line arguments.

The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.

Affected: 10.2, 2006.0, Corporate 3.0

Solution:
To upgrade automatically use MandrakeUpdate or urpmi. The verification
of md5 checksums and GPG signatures is performed automatically for you.
