Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'libtiff'
package(s) announced via the referenced advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
Multiple vulnerabilities has been discovered and corrected in libtiff:

libtiff did not properly convert between signed and unsigned integer
values, leading to a buffer overflow. An attacker could use this flaw
to create a specially-crafted TIFF file that, when opened, would
cause an application linked against libtiff to crash or, possibly,
execute arbitrary code (CVE-2012-2088).

Multiple integer overflow flaws, leading to heap-based buffer
overflows, were found in the tiff2pdf tool. An attacker could use
these flaws to create a specially-crafted TIFF file that would cause
tiff2pdf to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code (CVE-2012-2113).

The updated packages have been patched to correct these issues.

Affected Software/OS:
libtiff on Mandriva Linux 2011.0,
Mandriva Enterprise Server 5.2,
Mandriva Linux 2010.1

Solution:
Please Install the Updated Packages.
