In LibTIFF 4.0.8, there is a memory malloc failure in tif_jbig.c. A crafted TIFF document can lead to an abort resulting in a remote denial of service attack.

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 16.04 ESM / 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-5742-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that JBIG-KIT incorrectly handled decoding certain large image files. If a user or     automated system using JBIG-KIT were tricked into opening a specially crafted file, an attacker could     possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service.

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

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

According to the version of the jbigkit package installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerability :

  - In LibTIFF 4.0.8, there is a memory malloc failure in     tif_jbig.c. A crafted TIFF document can lead to an     abort resulting in a remote denial of service     attack.(CVE-2017-9937)

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
