Mandrakelinux Security Update Advisory
_______________________________________________________________________

Package name: wxGTK2
Advisory ID: MDKSA-2004:111
Date: October 21st, 2004

Affected versions: 10.0
______________________________________________________________________

Problem Description:

Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the libtiff package; wxGTK2 uses a libtiff code tree, so it may have the same vulnerabilities:

Chris Evans discovered several problems in the RLE (run length encoding) decoders that could lead to arbitrary code execution. (CAN-2004-0803)

Matthias Clasen discovered a division by zero through an integer overflow. (CAN-2004-0804)

Dmitry V. Levin discovered several integer overflows that caused malloc issues which can result to either plain crash or memory corruption. (CAN-2004-0886)
