Title: Two Mandriva Linux Advisories: 1. MDKA-2006:027 - Updated xorg-x11 packages to address bug with keyboard layouts 2. MDKSA-2006:095 - Updated libtiff packages fixes tiffsplit vulnerability
Abstract:
Vendors affected: Mandriva
Operating systems affected: Mandriva
Applications affected: Mandriva

Title
=====

Two Mandriva Linux Advisories:

1. MDKA-2006:027 - Updated xorg-x11 packages to address bug with keyboard layouts

2. MDKSA-2006:095 - Updated libtiff packages fixes tiffsplit vulnerability

Detail
======

1. A misapplied patch in a recent X.org updated caused keyboard
layout problems which resulted in some users being unable to use
the CTRL-ALT-function key combination to switch to a console, as
well as other keyboard mapping issues.

2. A stack-based buffer overflow in the tiffsplit command in libtiff 3.8.2
and earlier might might allow attackers to execute arbitrary code via a
long filename.

Mandriva Linux Security Advisory MDKSA-2006:095
http://www.mandriva.com/security/
_______________________________________________________________________

Package : libtiff
Date : June 5, 2006
Affected: 10.2, 2006.0, Corporate 3.0
_______________________________________________________________________

Problem Description:

A stack-based buffer overflow in the tiffsplit command in libtiff 3.8.2
and earlier might might allow attackers to execute arbitrary code via a
long filename.

NOTE: tiffsplit is not setuid, and there may not be a common scenario under
which tiffsplit is called with attacker-controlled command line arguments.

The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.
