libtiff 4.5.0 is vulnerable to Buffer Overflow in uv_encode() when libtiff reads a corrupted little-endian TIFF file and specifies the output to be big-endian.

An update of the libtiff package has been released.

According to the versions of the libtiff package installed, the EulerOS Virtualization installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

    libtiff 4.5.0 is vulnerable to Buffer Overflow in uv_encode() when libtiff reads a corrupted little-endian     TIFF file and specifies the output to be big-endian.(CVE-2023-26966)

    libtiff 4.5.0 is vulnerable to Buffer Overflow via /libtiff/tools/tiffcrop.c:8499. Incorrect updating of     buffer size after rotateImage() in tiffcrop cause heap-buffer-overflow and SEGV.(CVE-2023-25433)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS Virtualization libtiff security advisory.

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

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 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 overflow in TIFF2PDF tool (CVE-2020-35524)

  - libtiff: heap-buffer overflow via extractContigSamplesBytes() at /libtiff/tools/tiffcrop.c     (CVE-2023-25434)

  - tools/pal2rgb.c in pal2rgb in LibTIFF 4.0.9 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service     (TIFFSetupStrips heap-based buffer overflow and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other     impact via a crafted TIFF file. (CVE-2017-17095)

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 remote CentOS Linux 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the libtiff-4.4.0-10.el9 build changelog.

  - loadImage() in tools/tiffcrop.c in LibTIFF through 4.5.0 has a heap-based use after free via a crafted     TIFF image. (CVE-2023-26965)

  - libtiff 4.5.0 is vulnerable to Buffer Overflow in uv_encode() when libtiff reads a corrupted little-endian     TIFF file and specifies the output to be big-endian. (CVE-2023-26966)

  - A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in Libtiff's LZWDecode() function in the libtiff/tif_lzw.c file.
    This flaw allows a local attacker to craft specific input data that can cause the program to dereference a     NULL pointer when decompressing a TIFF format file, resulting in a program crash or denial of service.
    (CVE-2023-2731)

  - A NULL pointer dereference in TIFFClose() is caused by a failure to open an output file (non-existent path     or a path that requires permissions like /dev/null) while specifying zones. (CVE-2023-3316)

  - A memory leak flaw was found in Libtiff's tiffcrop utility. This issue occurs when tiffcrop operates on a     TIFF image file, allowing an attacker to pass a crafted TIFF image file to tiffcrop utility, which causes     this memory leak issue, resulting an application crash, eventually leading to a denial of service.
