The remote SUSE Linux SLED15 / SLED_SAP15 / SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 / openSUSE 15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2023:4370-1 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)

  - 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)

  - 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 issue was found in Libtiff's tif_dir.c file. This issue may allow an attacker     to pass a crafted TIFF image file to the tiffcp utility which triggers a runtime error that causes     undefined behavior. This will result in an application crash, eventually leading to a denial of service.
    (CVE-2023-2908)

  - 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.
    (CVE-2023-3576)

  - A flaw was found in libtiff. A specially crafted tiff file can lead to a segmentation fault due to a     buffer overflow in the Fax3Encode function in libtiff/tif_fax3.c, resulting in a denial of service.
    (CVE-2023-3618)

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

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 ESM / 18.04 ESM / 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 23.04 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-6290-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that LibTIFF could be made to write out of bounds when processing certain malformed     image files with the tiffcrop utility. If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted image file,     an attacker could possibly use this issue to cause tiffcrop to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or     possibly execute arbitrary code. This issue only affected Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, and Ubuntu     22.04 LTS. (CVE-2022-48281)

    It was discovered that LibTIFF incorrectly handled certain image files. If a user were tricked into     opening a specially crafted image file, an attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of     service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 23.04. (CVE-2023-2731)

    It was discovered that LibTIFF incorrectly handled certain image files with the tiffcp utility. If a user     were tricked into opening a specially crafted image file, an attacker could possibly use this issue to     cause tiffcp to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2023-2908)

    It was discovered that LibTIFF incorrectly handled certain file paths. If a user were tricked into     specifying certain output paths, an attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service.
    This issue only affected Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. (CVE-2023-3316)

    It was discovered that LibTIFF did not properly managed memory when processing certain malformed image     files with the tiffcrop utility. If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted image file, an     attacker could possibly use this issue to cause tiffcrop to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or     possibly execute arbitrary code. This issue only affected Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, and Ubuntu     23.04. (CVE-2023-26965)

    It was discovered that LibTIFF contained an arithmetic overflow. If a user were tricked into opening a     specially crafted image file, an attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service.
