Red Hat Security Advisory

Synopsis: Moderate: kdegraphics security update
Advisory ID: RHSA-2005:021-01
Advisory URL: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2005-021.html
Issue date: 2005-04-12
Updated on: 2005-04-12
Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux
CVE Names: CAN-2004-0803 CAN-2004-0886 CAN-2004-0804

1. Summary:

Updated kdegraphics packages that resolve multiple security issues in kfax are now available.

This update has been rated as having moderate security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS (Advanced Server) version 2.1 - i386, ia64
Red Hat Linux Advanced Workstation 2.1 - ia64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES version 2.1 - i386
Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS version 2.1 - i386
Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS version 3 - i386, ia64, ppc, s390, s390x, x86_64

Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS version 3 - i386, ia64, x86_64

3. Problem description:

The kdegraphics package contains graphics applications for the K Desktop Environment.

During a source code audit, Chris Evans discovered a number of integer overflow bugs that affect libtiff. The kfax application contains a copy of the libtiff code used for parsing TIFF files and is therefore affected by these bugs. An attacker who has the ability to trick a user into opening a malicious TIFF file could cause kfax to crash or possibly execute arbitrary code. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the names CAN-2004-0886 and CAN-2004-0804 to these issues.

Additionally, a number of buffer overflow bugs that affect libtiff have been found. The kfax application contains a copy of the libtiff code used for parsing TIFF files and is therefore affected by these bugs. An attacker who has the ability to trick a user into opening a malicious TIFF file could cause kfax to crash or possibly execute arbitrary code. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2004-0803 to this issue.

Users of kfax should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches and are not vulnerable to this issue.
