Heap-based buffer overflow in the readgifimage function in the gif2tiff tool in libtiff 4.0.3 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted height and width values in a GIF image.

The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version MAIN 6.02, has libtiff packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - Buffer overflow in the t2p_write_pdf_string function in tiff2pdf in libtiff 3.8.2 and earlier allows     attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a TIFF file with a     DocumentName tag that contains UTF-8 characters, which triggers the overflow when a character is sign     extended to an integer that produces more digits than expected in an sprintf call. (CVE-2006-2193)

  - Heap-based buffer overflow in the JPEG decoder in the TIFF library (libtiff) before 3.8.2 allows context-     dependent attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via an encoded JPEG     stream that is longer than the scan line size (TiffScanLineSize). (CVE-2006-3460)

  - Heap-based buffer overflow in the PixarLog decoder in the TIFF library (libtiff) before 3.8.2 might allow     context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via unknown vectors. (CVE-2006-3461)

  - Heap-based buffer overflow in the NeXT RLE decoder in the TIFF library (libtiff) before 3.8.2 might allow     context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via unknown vectors involving decoding large RLE     images. (CVE-2006-3462)

  - The EstimateStripByteCounts function in TIFF library (libtiff) before 3.8.2 uses a 16-bit unsigned short     when iterating over an unsigned 32-bit value, which allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial     of service via a large td_nstrips value, which triggers an infinite loop. (CVE-2006-3463)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

According to the versions of the libtiff package installed, the EulerOS Virtualization installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - Heap-based buffer overflow in the readgifimage function     in the gif2tiff tool in libtiff 4.0.3 and earlier     allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service     (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a     crafted height and width values in a GIF     image.(CVE-2013-4243)

  - Integer overflow in tools/bmp2tiff.c in LibTIFF before     4.0.4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of     service (heap-based buffer over-read), or possibly     obtain sensitive information from process memory, via     crafted width and length values in RLE4 or RLE8 data in     a BMP file.(CVE-2015-8870)

  - LibTIFF 4.0.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial     of service (out-of-bounds read and crash) via a crafted     TIFF image to the (1) checkInkNamesString function in     tif_dir.c in the thumbnail tool, (2) compresscontig     function in tiff2bw.c in the tiff2bw tool, (3)     putcontig8bitCIELab function in tif_getimage.c in the     tiff2rgba tool, LZWPreDecode function in tif_lzw.c in     the (4) tiff2ps or (5) tiffdither tool, (6) NeXTDecode     function in tif_next.c in the tiffmedian tool, or (7)     TIFFWriteDirectoryTagLongLong8Array function in     tif_dirwrite.c in the tiffset tool.(CVE-2014-8127)

  - Use-after-free vulnerability in the     t2p_readwrite_pdf_image function in tools/tiff2pdf.c in     libtiff 4.0.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial     of service (crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code     via a crafted TIFF image.(CVE-2013-4232)

  - Integer overflow in the writeBufferToSeparateStrips     function in tiffcrop.c in LibTIFF before 4.0.7 allows     remote attackers to cause a denial of service     (out-of-bounds read) via a crafted tif     file.(CVE-2016-9532)

  - Multiple integer overflows in the (1) cvt_by_strip and     (2) cvt_by_tile functions in the tiff2rgba tool in     LibTIFF 4.0.6 and earlier, when -b mode is enabled,     allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service     (crash) or execute arbitrary code via a crafted TIFF     image, which triggers an out-of-bounds     write.(CVE-2016-3945)

  - The (1) putcontig8bitYCbCr21tile function in     tif_getimage.c or (2) NeXTDecode function in tif_next.c     in LibTIFF allows remote attackers to cause a denial of     service (uninitialized memory access) via a crafted     TIFF image, as demonstrated by libtiff-cvs-1.tif and     libtiff-cvs-2.tif.(CVE-2014-9655)

  - A flaw was discovered in the bmp2tiff utility. By     tricking a user into processing a specially crafted     file, a remote attacker could exploit this flaw to     cause a crash or memory corruption and, possibly,     execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user     running the libtiff tool.(CVE-2014-9330)

  - The TIFFReadRawStrip1 and TIFFReadRawTile1 functions in     tif_read.c in libtiff before 4.0.7 allows remote     attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or     possibly obtain sensitive information via a negative     index in a file-content buffer.(CVE-2016-6223)

  - The _TIFFmalloc function in tif_unix.c in LibTIFF 4.0.3     does not reject a zero size, which allows remote     attackers to cause a denial of service (divide-by-zero     error and application crash) via a crafted TIFF image     that is mishandled by the TIFFWriteScanline function in     tif_write.c, as demonstrated by     tiffdither.(CVE-2014-8130)

  - Heap-based buffer overflow in the     t2p_process_jpeg_strip function in tiff2pdf in libtiff     4.0.3 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a     denial of service (crash) and possibly execute     arbitrary code via a crafted TIFF image     file.(CVE-2013-1960)

  - Stack-based buffer overflow in the t2p_write_pdf_page     function in tiff2pdf in libtiff before 4.0.3 allows     remote attackers to cause a denial of service     (application crash) via a crafted image length and     resolution in a TIFF image file.(CVE-2013-1961)

  - Heap-based buffer overflow in the loadImage function in     the tiffcrop tool in LibTIFF 4.0.6 and earlier allows     remote attackers to cause a denial of service     (out-of-bounds write) or execute arbitrary code via a     crafted TIFF image with zero tiles.(CVE-2016-3991)

  - Heap-based buffer overflow in the horizontalDifference8     function in tif_pixarlog.c in LibTIFF 4.0.6 and earlier     allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service     (crash) or execute arbitrary code via a crafted TIFF     image to tiffcp.(CVE-2016-3990)

  - LibTIFF 4.0.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial     of service (out-of-bounds write) or possibly have     unspecified other impact via a crafted TIFF image, as     demonstrated by failure of tif_next.c to verify that     the BitsPerSample value is 2, and the     t2p_sample_lab_signed_to_unsigned function in     tiff2pdf.c.(CVE-2014-8129)

  - The LZW decompressor in the gif2tiff tool in libtiff     4.0.3 and earlier allows context-dependent attackers to     cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds write and     crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted     GIF image.(CVE-2013-4244)

  - The _TIFFVGetField function in tif_dirinfo.c in LibTIFF     4.0.6 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a     denial of service (out-of-bounds write) or execute     arbitrary code via a crafted TIFF image.(CVE-2016-3632)

  - The NeXTDecode function in tif_next.c in LibTIFF allows     remote attackers to cause a denial of service     (uninitialized memory access) via a crafted TIFF image,     as demonstrated by libtiff5.tif.(CVE-2015-1547)

  - In LibTIFF 4.0.9, there is a NULL pointer dereference     in the TIFFWriteDirectorySec function in tif_dirwrite.c     that will lead to a denial of service attack, as     demonstrated by tiffset.(CVE-2018-19210)

  - The TIFFFdOpen function in tif_unix.c in LibTIFF 4.0.10     has a memory leak, as demonstrated by     pal2rgb.(CVE-2019-6128)

  - An Invalid Address dereference was discovered in     TIFFWriteDirectoryTagTransferfunction in     libtiff/tif_dirwrite.c in LibTIFF 4.0.10, affecting the     cpSeparateBufToContigBuf function in tiffcp.c. Remote     attackers could leverage this vulnerability to cause a     denial-of-service via a crafted tiff file. This is     different from CVE-2018-12900.(CVE-2019-7663)
