Vulnerable Configurations
Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)
Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)
- Buffer Overflow via Environment Variables This attack pattern involves causing a buffer overflow through manipulation of environment variables. Once the attacker finds that they can modify an environment variable, they may try to overflow associated buffers. This attack leverages implicit trust often placed in environment variables.
- Overflow Buffers Buffer Overflow attacks target improper or missing bounds checking on buffer operations, typically triggered by input injected by an attacker. As a consequence, an attacker is able to write past the boundaries of allocated buffer regions in memory, causing a program crash or potentially redirection of execution as per the attackers' choice.
- Client-side Injection-induced Buffer Overflow This type of attack exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in targeted client software through injection of malicious content from a custom-built hostile service.
- Filter Failure through Buffer Overflow In this attack, the idea is to cause an active filter to fail by causing an oversized transaction. An attacker may try to feed overly long input strings to the program in an attempt to overwhelm the filter (by causing a buffer overflow) and hoping that the filter does not fail securely (i.e. the user input is let into the system unfiltered).
- MIME Conversion An attacker exploits a weakness in the MIME conversion routine to cause a buffer overflow and gain control over the mail server machine. The MIME system is designed to allow various different information formats to be interpreted and sent via e-mail. Attack points exist when data are converted to MIME compatible format and back.

(CVE-2012-4564) The CVE-2012-5581, CVE-2012-3401, and CVE-2012-4564 issues were discovered by Huzaifa Sidhpurwala of the Red Hat Security Response Team. All libtiff users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches to resolve these issues. All running applications linked against libtiff must be restarted for this update to take effect. last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 63293 published 2012-12-19 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2012-2019 and is owned by Tenable, Inc. or an Affiliate thereof. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/63293 title RHEL 5 / 6 : libtiff (RHSA-2012:1590) NASL family CentOS Local Security Checks NASL id CENTOS_RHSA-2012-1590.NASL description Updated libtiff packages that fix multiple security issues are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and 6.

(CVE-2012-5581) A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the tiff2pdf tool. An attacker could use this flaw to create a specially crafted TIFF file that would cause tiff2pdf to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2012-3401) A missing return value check flaw, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow, was found in the ppm2tiff tool.
