Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in libtiff 3.8.1 (Image Processing Software). It has been classified as critical. This affects an unknown code. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a numeric error vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-189. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

TIFF library (libtiff) before 3.8.2 allows context-dependent attackers to pass numeric range checks and possibly execute code, and trigger assert errors, via large offset values in a TIFF directory that lead to an integer overflow and other unspecified vectors involving "unchecked arithmetic operations".

The bug was discovered 08/01/2006. The weakness was presented 08/02/2006 by Tavis Ormandy with Google Security Team (Website). It is possible to read the advisory at debian.org. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2006-3464 since 07/10/2006. The exploitability is told to be easy. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. No form of authentication is needed for exploitation. The technical details are unknown and an exploit is not publicly available.

It is declared as proof-of-concept. The vulnerability was handled as a non-public zero-day exploit for at least 1 days. During that time the estimated underground price was around $0-$5k. The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 22161 (CentOS 3 / 4 : libtiff (CESA-2006:0603)), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment. It is assigned to the family CentOS Local Security Checks and running in the context l. The commercial vulnerability scanner Qualys is able to test this issue with plugin 156193 (Oracle Enterprise Linux Update for libtiff (ELSA-2006:0603)).
