A heap-buffer-overflow vulnerability was found in LibTIFF, in extractImageSection() at tools/tiffcrop.c:7916 and tools/tiffcrop.c:7801. This flaw allows attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted tiff file.

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

    A heap-buffer-overflow vulnerability was found in LibTIFF, in extractImageSection() at     tools/tiffcrop.c:7916 and tools/tiffcrop.c:7801. This flaw allows attackers to cause a denial of service     via a crafted tiff file.(CVE-2023-3164)

    A flaw was found in tiffcrop, a program distributed by the libtiff package. A specially crafted tiff file     can lead to an out-of-bounds read in the extractImageSection function in tools/tiffcrop.c, resulting in a     denial of service and limited information disclosure. This issue affects libtiff versions     4.x.(CVE-2023-1916)

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS / 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 23.10 / 24.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-6827-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that LibTIFF incorrectly handled memory when

    performing certain cropping operations, leading to a heap buffer overflow. An attacker could use this     issue to cause a

    denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code.
