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.

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.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 9 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 use after free in tiff2pdf.c:t2p_writeproc (CVE-2017-17973)

  - Out-of-bounds Read error in tiffcrop in libtiff 4.3.0 allows attackers to cause a denial-of-service via a     crafted tiff file. For users that compile libtiff from sources, the fix is available with commit 46dc8fcd.
    (CVE-2022-1056)

  - 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)

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 version of libtiff installed on the remote host is prior to 4.0.3-35. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2023-2300 advisory.

  - There exists one heap buffer overflow in _TIFFmemcpy in tif_unix.c in libtiff 4.0.10, which allows an     attacker to cause a denial-of-service through a crafted tiff file. (CVE-2020-18768)

  - A heap buffer overflow in ExtractImageSection function in tiffcrop.c in libtiff library Version 4.3.0     allows attacker to trigger unsafe or out of bounds memory access via crafted TIFF image file which could     result into application crash, potential information disclosure or any other context-dependent impact     (CVE-2022-0891)
