The putcontig8bitCIELab function in tif_getimage.c in LibTIFF 4.0.6 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) via a packed TIFF image.

The remote SUSE Linux SLES11 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2022:14888-1 advisory.

  - tif_getimage.c in LibTIFF 4.0.6 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read)     via the SamplesPerPixel tag in a TIFF image. (CVE-2015-8665)

  - The putcontig8bitCIELab function in tif_getimage.c in LibTIFF 4.0.6 allows remote attackers to cause a     denial of service (out-of-bounds read) via a packed TIFF image. (CVE-2015-8683)

  - A flaw was found in libtiff. Due to a memory allocation failure in tif_read.c, a crafted TIFF file can     lead to an abort, resulting in denial of service. (CVE-2020-35521)

  - In LibTIFF, there is a memory malloc failure in tif_pixarlog.c. A crafted TIFF document can lead to an     abort, resulting in a remote denial of service attack. (CVE-2020-35522)

  - An integer overflow flaw was found in libtiff that exists in the tif_getimage.c file. This flaw allows an     attacker to inject and execute arbitrary code when a user opens a crafted TIFF file. The highest threat     from this vulnerability is to confidentiality, integrity, as well as system availability. (CVE-2020-35523)

  - A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in libtiff in the handling of TIFF images in libtiff's     TIFF2PDF tool. A specially crafted TIFF file can lead to arbitrary code execution. The highest threat from     this vulnerability is to confidentiality, integrity, as well as system availability. (CVE-2020-35524)

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201701-16 (libTIFF: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in libTIFF. Please review       the CVE identifier and bug reports referenced for details.
  Impact :

    A remote attacker could entice a user to process a specially crafted       image file, possibly resulting in execution of arbitrary code with the       privileges of the process or a Denial of Service condition.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

Tiff was updated to version 4.0.7. This update fixes the following issues :

  - libtiff/tif_aux.c

  + Fix crash in TIFFVGetFieldDefaulted() when requesting     Predictor tag and that the zip/lzw codec is not     configured.
    (http://bugzilla.maptools.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2591)

  - libtiff/tif_compress.c

  + Make TIFFNoDecode() return 0 to indicate an error and     make upper level read routines treat it accordingly.
    (http://bugzilla.maptools.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2517)

  - libtiff/tif_dir.c

  + Discard values of SMinSampleValue and SMaxSampleValue     when they have been read and the value of     SamplesPerPixel is changed afterwards (like when reading     a OJPEG compressed image with a missing SamplesPerPixel     tag, and whose photometric is RGB or YCbCr, forcing     SamplesPerPixel being 3). Otherwise when rewriting the     directory (for example with tiffset, we will expect 3     values whereas the array had been allocated with just     one), thus causing a out of bound read access.
    (CVE-2014-8127, boo#914890, duplicate: CVE-2016-3658,     boo#974840)

  - libtiff/tif_dirread.c

  + In TIFFFetchNormalTag(), do not dereference NULL pointer     when values of tags with     TIFF_SETGET_C16_ASCII/TIFF_SETGET_C32_ASCII access are     0-byte arrays. (CVE-2016-9448, boo#1011103)

  + In TIFFFetchNormalTag(), make sure that values of tags     with TIFF_SETGET_C16_ASCII/TIFF_SETGET_C32_ASCII access     are null terminated, to avoid potential read outside     buffer in _TIFFPrintField(). (CVE-2016-9297,     boo#1010161)

  + Prevent reading ColorMap or TransferFunction if     BitsPerPixel > 24, so as to avoid huge memory allocation     and file read attempts

  + Reject images with OJPEG compression that have no     TileOffsets/StripOffsets tag, when OJPEG compression is     disabled. Prevent NULL pointer dereference in     TIFFReadRawStrip1() and other functions that expect     td_stripbytecount to be non NULL.
    (http://bugzilla.maptools.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2585)

  + When compiled with DEFER_STRILE_LOAD, fix regression,     when reading a one-strip file without a StripByteCounts     tag.

  + Workaround false positive warning of Clang Static     Analyzer about NULL pointer dereference in     TIFFCheckDirOffset().

  - libtiff/tif_dirwrite.c

  + Avoid NULL pointer dereference on td_stripoffset when     writing directory, if FIELD_STRIPOFFSETS was     artificially set for a hack case in OJPEG case. Fixes     (CVE-2014-8127, boo#914890, duplicate: CVE-2016-3658,     boo#974840)

  + Fix truncation to 32 bit of file offsets in     TIFFLinkDirectory() and TIFFWriteDirectorySec() when     aligning directory offsets on an even offset (affects     BigTIFF).

  - libtiff/tif_dumpmode.c

  + DumpModeEncode() should return 0 in case of failure so     that the above mentionned functions detect the error.

  - libtiff/tif_fax3.c

  + remove dead assignment in Fax3PutEOLgdal().

  - libtiff/tif_fax3.h

  + make Param member of TIFFFaxTabEnt structure a uint16 to     reduce size of the binary.

  - libtiff/tif_getimage.c

  + Fix out-of-bound reads in TIFFRGBAImage interface in     case of unsupported values of     SamplesPerPixel/ExtraSamples for LogLUV/CIELab. Add     explicit call to TIFFRGBAImageOK() in     TIFFRGBAImageBegin(). Fix CVE-2015-8665 and     CVE-2015-8683.

  + TIFFRGBAImageOK: Reject attempts to read floating point     images.

  - libtiff/tif_luv.c

  + Fix potential out-of-bound writes in decode functions in     non debug builds by replacing assert()s by regular if     checks     (http://bugzilla.maptools.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2522). Fix     potential out-of-bound reads in case of short input     data.

  + Validate that for COMPRESSION_SGILOG and     PHOTOMETRIC_LOGL, there is only one sample per pixel.
    Avoid potential invalid memory write on     corrupted/unexpected images when using the     TIFFRGBAImageBegin() interface

  - libtiff/tif_next.c

  + Fix potential out-of-bound write in NeXTDecode()     (http://bugzilla.maptools.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2508)

  - libtiff/tif_pixarlog.c

  + Avoid zlib error messages to pass a NULL string to %s     formatter, which is undefined behaviour in sprintf().

  + Fix out-of-bounds write vulnerabilities in heap     allocated buffers. Reported as MSVR 35094.

  + Fix potential buffer write overrun in PixarLogDecode()     on corrupted/unexpected images (CVE-2016-5875,     boo#987351)

  - libtiff/tif_predict.c

  + PredictorSetup: Enforce bits-per-sample requirements of     floating point predictor (3). (CVE-2016-3622,     boo#974449)

  - libtiff/tif_predict.h, libtiff/tif_predict.c

  + Replace assertions by runtime checks to avoid assertions     in debug mode, or buffer overflows in release mode. Can     happen when dealing with unusual tile size like YCbCr     with subsampling. Reported as MSVR 35105.

  - libtiff/tif_read.c

  + Fix out-of-bounds read on memory-mapped files in     TIFFReadRawStrip1() and TIFFReadRawTile1() when     stripoffset is beyond tmsize_t max value

  + Make TIFFReadEncodedStrip() and TIFFReadEncodedTile()     directly use user provided buffer when no compression     (and other conditions) to save a memcpy().

  - libtiff/tif_strip.c

  + Make TIFFNumberOfStrips() return the td->td_nstrips     value when it is non-zero, instead of recomputing it.
    This is needed in TIFF_STRIPCHOP mode where td_nstrips     is modified. Fixes a read outsize of array in tiffsplit     (or other utilities using TIFFNumberOfStrips()).
    (CVE-2016-9273, boo#1010163)

  - libtiff/tif_write.c

  + Fix issue in error code path of TIFFFlushData1() that     didn't reset the tif_rawcc and tif_rawcp members. I'm     not completely sure if that could happen in practice     outside of the odd behaviour of t2p_seekproc() of     tiff2pdf). The report points that a better fix could be     to check the return value of TIFFFlushData1() in places     where it isn't done currently, but it seems this patch     is enough. Reported as MSVR 35095.

  + Make TIFFWriteEncodedStrip() and TIFFWriteEncodedTile()     directly use user provided buffer when no compression to     save a memcpy().

  + TIFFWriteEncodedStrip() and TIFFWriteEncodedTile()     should return -1 in case of failure of tif_encodestrip()     as documented

  - tools/fax2tiff.c

  + Fix segfault when specifying -r without argument.
    (http://bugzilla.maptools.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2572)

  - tools/Makefile.am

  + The libtiff tools bmp2tiff, gif2tiff, ras2tiff,     sgi2tiff, sgisv, and ycbcr are completely removed from     the distribution. The libtiff tools rgb2ycbcr and     thumbnail are only built in the build tree for testing.
    Old files are put in new 'archive' subdirectory of the     source repository, but not in distribution archives.
    These changes are made in order to lessen the     maintenance burden.

  - tools/tiff2bw.c

  + Fix weight computation that could result of color value     overflow (no security implication). Fix     http://bugzilla.maptools.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2550.

  - tools/tiff2pdf.c

  + Avoid undefined behaviour related to overlapping of     source and destination buffer in memcpy() call in     t2p_sample_rgbaa_to_rgb()     (http://bugzilla.maptools.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2577)

  + Fix out-of-bounds write vulnerabilities in heap allocate     buffer in t2p_process_jpeg_strip(). Reported as MSVR     35098.

  + Fix potential integer overflows on 32 bit builds in     t2p_read_tiff_size()     (http://bugzilla.maptools.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2576)

  + Fix read -largely- outsize of buffer in     t2p_readwrite_pdf_image_tile(), causing crash, when     reading a JPEG compressed image with TIFFTAG_JPEGTABLES     length being one. (CVE-2016-9453, boo#1011107)

  + Fix write buffer overflow of 2 bytes on JPEG compressed     images. Also prevents writing 2 extra uninitialized     bytes to the file stream. (TALOS-CAN-0187,     CVE-2016-5652, boo#1007280)

  - tools/tiffcp.c

  + Fix out-of-bounds write on tiled images with odd tile     width vs image width. Reported as MSVR 35103.

  + Fix read of undefined variable in case of missing     required tags. Found on test case of MSVR 35100.

  - tools/tiffcrop.c

  + Avoid access outside of stack allocated array on a tiled     separate TIFF with more than 8 samples per pixel.
    (CVE-2016-5321, CVE-2016-5323, boo#984813, boo#984815)

  + Fix memory leak in (recent) error code path.

  + Fix multiple uint32 overflows in     writeBufferToSeparateStrips(),     writeBufferToContigTiles() and     writeBufferToSeparateTiles() that could cause heap     buffer overflows.
    (http://bugzilla.maptools.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2592)

  + Fix out-of-bound read of up to 3 bytes in     readContigTilesIntoBuffer(). Reported as MSVR 35092.

  + Fix read of undefined buffer in     readContigStripsIntoBuffer() due to uint16 overflow.
    Reported as MSVR 35100.

  + Fix various out-of-bounds write vulnerabilities in heap     or stack allocated buffers. Reported as MSVR 35093, MSVR     35096 and MSVR 35097.

  + readContigTilesIntoBuffer: Fix signed/unsigned     comparison warning.

  - tools/tiffdump.c

  + Fix a few misaligned 64-bit reads warned by -fsanitize

  + ReadDirectory: Remove uint32 cast to_TIFFmalloc()     argument which resulted in Coverity report. Added more     mutiplication overflow checks

  - tools/tiffinfo.c

  + Fix out-of-bound read on some tiled images.
    (http://bugzilla.maptools.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2517)

  + TIFFReadContigTileData: Fix signed/unsigned comparison     warning.

  + TIFFReadSeparateTileData: Fix signed/unsigned comparison     warning.

CVE-2015-8683

The putcontig8bitCIELab function in tif_getimage.c in LibTIFF 4.0.6 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) via a packed TIFF image.

CVE-2015-8665 tif_getimage.c in LibTIFF 4.0.6 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) via the SamplesPerPixel tag in a TIFF image.

CVE-2014-8129 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-2014-8130 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-2014-8127 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-2014-9655 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-2015-8781 tif_luv.c in libtiff allows attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds write) via an invalid number of samples per pixel in a LogL compressed TIFF image, a different vulnerability than CVE-2015-8782.

CVE-2015-8782 tif_luv.c in libtiff allows attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds writes) via a crafted TIFF image, a different vulnerability than CVE-2015-8781.

CVE-2015-8783 tif_luv.c in libtiff allows attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds reads) via a crafted TIFF image.

Impact

An attacker can use specially crafted TIFF files to execute arbitrary code with the limited privileges of the image optimization process.

Version 3.9.6-11+deb7u1 and 3.9.6-11+deb7u2 introduced changes that resulted in libtiff writing out invalid tiff files when the compression scheme in use relies on codec-specific TIFF tags embedded in the image.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 3.9.6-11+deb7u3.

We recommend that you upgrade your tiff3 packages.

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-2939-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that LibTIFF incorrectly handled certain malformed images. If a user or automated system     were tricked into opening a specially crafted image, a remote attacker could crash the application,     leading to a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code with user privileges.

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

Several vulnerabilities have been found in tiff, a Tag Image File Format library. Multiple out-of-bounds read and write flaws could cause an application using the tiff library to crash.

Two security flaws have been found and solved in libtiff, library that provides support for handling Tag Image File Format (TIFF). These flaws concern out of bounds reads in the TIFFRGBAImage interface, when parsing unsupported values related to LogLUV and CIELab. CVE-2015-8665 was reported by limingxing and CVE-2015-8683 by zzf of Alibaba.

For Debian 6 'Squeeze', these issues have been fixed in tiff version 3.9.4-5+squeeze13. We recommend you to upgrade your tiff packages.
