VMware Security Advisory - A denial of service flaw was found in the way libxml2 processes certain content. If an application that is linked against libxml2 processes malformed XML content, the XML content might cause the application to stop responding. A flaw was found in the way ucd-snmp checks an SNMPv3 packet's Keyed-Hash Message Authentication Code. An attacker could use this flaw to spoof an authenticated SNMPv3 packet. Multiple uses of uninitialized values were discovered in libtiff's Lempel-Ziv-Welch (LZW) compression algorithm decoder. An attacker could create a carefully crafted LZW-encoded TIFF file that would cause an application linked with libtiff to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code.

Gentoo Linux Security Advisory GLSA 200809-07 - Multiple buffer underflow vulnerabilities in libTIFF may allow for the remote execution of arbitrary code. Drew Yao (Apple Product Security) and Clay Wood reported multiple buffer underflows in the LZWDecode() and LZWDecodeCompat() functions in tif_lzw.c when processing TIFF files. Versions less than 3.8.2-r4 are affected.

Mandriva Linux Security Advisory - Drew Yaro of the Apple Product Security Team reported multiple uses of uninitialized values in libtiff's LZW compression algorithm decoder. An attacker could create a carefully crafted LZW-encoded TIFF file that would cause an application linked to libtiff to crash or potentially execute arbitrary code. The updated packages have been patched to prevent this issue.

Ubuntu Security Notice 639-1 - Drew Yao discovered that the TIFF library did not correctly validate LZW compressed TIFF images. If a user or automated system were tricked into processing a malicious image, a remote attacker could execute arbitrary code or cause an application linked against libtiff to crash, leading to a denial of service.
