In LibTIFF 4.0.9, there is an uncontrolled resource consumption in the TIFFSetDirectory function of tif_dir.c. Remote attackers could leverage this vulnerability to cause a denial of service via a crafted tif file. This occurs because the declared number of directory entries is not validated against the actual number of directory entries.

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 :

  - The TIFFFetchNormalTag function in LibTiff 4.0.6 allows     remote attackers to cause a denial of service     (out-of-bounds read) via crafted TIFF_SETGET_C16ASCII     or TIFF_SETGET_C32_ASCII tag values.(CVE-2016-9297)

  - There is a heap based buffer overflow in     tools/tiff2pdf.c of LibTIFF 4.0.8 via a     PlanarConfig=Contig image, which causes a more than one     hundred bytes out-of-bounds write (related to the     ZIPDecode function in tif_zip.c). A crafted input may     lead to a remote denial of service attack or an     arbitrary code execution attack.(CVE-2017-11335)

  - In LibTIFF 4.0.7, a memory leak vulnerability was found     in the function OJPEGReadHeaderInfoSecTablesQTable in     tif_ojpeg.c, which allows attackers to cause a denial     of service via a crafted file.(CVE-2017-9404)

  - ChopUpSingleUncompressedStrip in tif_dirread.c in     LibTIFF 4.0.9 allows remote attackers to cause a denial     of service (heap-based buffer overflow and application     crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a     crafted TIFF file, as demonstrated by     tiff2pdf.(CVE-2018-15209)

  - newoffsets handling in ChopUpSingleUncompressedStrip in     tif_dirread.c in LibTIFF 4.0.9 allows remote attackers     to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer     overflow and application crash) or possibly have     unspecified other impact via a crafted TIFF file, as     demonstrated by tiff2pdf. This is a different     vulnerability than CVE-2018-15209.(CVE-2018-16335)

  - In LibTIFF 4.0.9, there is an uncontrolled resource     consumption in the TIFFSetDirectory function of     tif_dir.c. Remote attackers could leverage this     vulnerability to cause a denial of service via a     crafted tif file. This occurs because the declared     number of directory entries is not validated against     the actual number of directory entries.(CVE-2018-5784)

Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in the libtiff library and the included tools, which may result in denial of service or the execution of arbitrary code if malformed image files are processed.

Several issues were discovered in TIFF, the Tag Image File Format library, that allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service or other unspecified impact via a crafted image file.

CVE-2017-11613: DoS vulnerability A crafted input will lead to a denial of service attack. During the TIFFOpen process, td_imagelength is not checked. The value of td_imagelength can be directly controlled by an input file. In the ChopUpSingleUncompressedStrip function, the
_TIFFCheckMalloc function is called based on td_imagelength. If the value of td_imagelength is set close to the amount of system memory, it will hang the system or trigger the OOM killer.

CVE-2018-10963: DoS vulnerability The TIFFWriteDirectorySec() function in tif_dirwrite.c in LibTIFF allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (assertion failure and application crash) via a crafted file, a different vulnerability than CVE-2017-13726.

CVE-2018-5784: DoS vulnerability In LibTIFF, there is an uncontrolled resource consumption in the TIFFSetDirectory function of tif_dir.c.
Remote attackers could leverage this vulnerability to cause a denial of service via a crafted tif file. This occurs because the declared number of directory entries is not validated against the actual number of directory entries.

CVE-2018-7456: NULL pointer Dereference A NULL pointer Dereference occurs in the function TIFFPrintDirectory in tif_print.c in LibTIFF when using the tiffinfo tool to print crafted TIFF information, a different vulnerability than CVE-2017-18013. (This affects an earlier part of the TIFFPrintDirectory function that was not addressed by the CVE-2017-18013 patch.)

CVE-2018-8905: Heap-based buffer overflow In LibTIFF, a heap-based buffer overflow occurs in the function LZWDecodeCompat in tif_lzw.c via a crafted TIFF file, as demonstrated by tiff2ps.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', these problems have been fixed in version 4.0.3-12.3+deb8u6.

We recommend that you upgrade your tiff packages.

This update for tiff fixes the following issues :

  - CVE-2017-9935: There was a heap-based buffer overflow in     the t2p_write_pdf function in tools/tiff2pdf.c. This     heap overflow could lead to different damages. For     example, a crafted TIFF document can lead to an     out-of-bounds read in TIFFCleanup, an invalid free in     TIFFClose or t2p_free, memory corruption in     t2p_readwrite_pdf_image, or a double free in t2p_free.
    Given these possibilities, it probably could cause     arbitrary code execution (bsc#1046077)

  - CVE-2017-17973: There is a heap-based use-after-free in     the t2p_writeproc function in tiff2pdf.c. (bsc#1074318)

  - CVE-2018-5784: There is an uncontrolled resource     consumption in the TIFFSetDirectory function of     tif_dir.c.
