CVSS Meta Temp Score
CVSS is a standardized scoring system to determine possibilities of attacks. The Temp Score considers temporal factors like disclosure, exploit and countermeasures. The unique Meta Score calculates the average score of different sources to provide a normalized scoring system.
Current Exploit Price (≈)
Our analysts are monitoring exploit markets and are in contact with vulnerability brokers. The range indicates the observed or calculated exploit price to be seen on exploit markets. A good indicator to understand the monetary effort required for and the popularity of an attack.
CTI Interest Score
Our Cyber Threat Intelligence team is monitoring different web sites, mailing lists, exploit markets and social media networks. The CTI Interest Score identifies the interest of attackers and the security community for this specific vulnerability in real-time. A high score indicates an elevated risk to be targeted for this vulnerability.

Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in SuSE Linux 1.0/8.1/8.2/9.0/9.1 (Operating System) and classified as very critical. This issue affects the function ojpegvsetfield of the file tif_ojpeg.c. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a heap-based overflow vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-122. A heap overflow condition is a buffer overflow, where the buffer that can be overwritten is allocated in the heap portion of memory, generally meaning that the buffer was allocated using a routine such as malloc(). Impacted is confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

Heap-based buffer overflow in the OJPEGVSetField function in tif_ojpeg.c for libtiff 3.6.1 and earlier, when compiled with the OJPEG_SUPPORT (old JPEG support) option, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a malformed TIFF image.

The bug was discovered 10/22/2004. The weakness was released 01/27/2005 by Andrei Nigmatulin as confirmed advisory (CERT.org). It is possible to read the advisory at kb.cert.org.
