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.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 5 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - libtiff: Heap-based buffer over-read in bmp2tiff (CVE-2017-9117)

    (CVE-2014-8128)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.

This plugin has been deprecated as it does not adhere to established standards for this style of check.

  - 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)

  - 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)

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS / 16.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-3212-1 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.

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.

Version 4.0.2-6+deb7u7 introduced changes that resulted in libtiff being unable to write out tiff files when the compression scheme in use relies on codec-specific TIFF tags embedded in the image.

This problem manifested itself with errors like those: $ tiffcp -r 16
-c jpeg sample.tif out.tif _TIFFVGetField: out.tif: Invalid tag 'Predictor' (not supported by codec). _TIFFVGetField: out.tif: Invalid tag 'BadFaxLines' (not supported by codec). tiffcp:
tif_dirwrite.c:687: TIFFWriteDirectorySec: Assertion `0' failed.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 4.0.2-6+deb7u10.

We recommend that you upgrade your tiff packages.

(CVE-2014-9655, CVE-2015-1547, CVE-2015-8784, CVE-2015-8683, CVE-2015-8665, CVE-2015-8781, CVE-2015-8782, CVE-2015-8783, CVE-2016-3990, CVE-2016-5320)

* Multiple flaws have been discovered in various libtiff tools (bmp2tiff, pal2rgb, thumbnail, tiff2bw, tiff2pdf, tiffcrop, tiffdither, tiffsplit, tiff2rgba). By tricking a user into processing a specially crafted file, a remote attacker could exploit these flaws to cause a crash or memory corruption and, possibly, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the libtiff tool.
