In LibTIFF 4.0.7, the TIFFReadDirEntryLong8Array function in libtiff/tif_dirread.c mishandles a malloc operation, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service (memory leak within the function _TIFFmalloc in tif_unix.c) via a crafted file.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 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)

  - LibTIFF prior to 4.0.4, as used in Apple iOS before 8.4 and OS X before 10.10.4 and other products, allows     remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds write) via a crafted TIFF image.
    (CVE-2014-8128)

  - Heap-based buffer overflow in the readContigStripsIntoBuffer function in tif_unix.c in LibTIFF 4.0.7,     3.9.3, 3.9.4, 3.9.5, 3.9.6, 3.9.7, 4.0.0alpha4, 4.0.0alpha5, 4.0.0alpha6, 4.0.0beta7, 4.0.0, 4.0.1, 4.0.2,     4.0.3, 4.0.4, 4.0.4beta, 4.0.5 and 4.0.6 allows remote attackers to have unspecified impact via a crafted     image. (CVE-2016-10092)

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

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 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)

  - LibTIFF prior to 4.0.4, as used in Apple iOS before 8.4 and OS X before 10.10.4 and other products, allows     remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds write) via a crafted TIFF image.
    (CVE-2014-8128)

  - 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)

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

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)

  - 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)

  - LibTIFF prior to 4.0.4, as used in Apple iOS before 8.4 and OS X before 10.10.4 and other products, allows     remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds write) via a crafted TIFF image.
    (CVE-2014-8128)

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

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS / 16.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-3602-1 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.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

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