LibTIFF is vulnerable to an integer overflow. This flaw allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute an arbitrary code via a crafted tiff image, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow.

An update of the libtiff package has been released.

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.

It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2023-2024-634 advisory.

    2024-06-06: CVE-2022-48281 was added to this advisory.

    2024-06-06: CVE-2023-41175 was added to this advisory.

    2024-06-06: CVE-2023-40745 was added to this advisory.

    2024-06-06: CVE-2023-30775 was added to this advisory.

    2024-06-06: CVE-2022-3598 was added to this advisory.

    Multiple heap buffer overflows in tiffcrop.c utility in libtiff library Version 4.4.0 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-2022-3570)

    LibTIFF 4.4.0 has an out-of-bounds write in extractContigSamplesShifted24bits in tools/tiffcrop.c:3604,     allowing 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 cfbb883b. (CVE-2022-3598)

    processCropSelections in tools/tiffcrop.c in LibTIFF through 4.5.0 has a heap-based buffer overflow (e.g.,     WRITE of size 307203) via a crafted TIFF image. (CVE-2022-48281)

    A vulnerability was found in libtiff library. This security flaw causes a heap buffer overflow in     extractContigSamples32bits, tiffcrop.c (CVE-2023-30775)

    Multiple potential integer overflow in tiffcp.c in libtiff <= 4.5.1 can allow remote attackers to cause a     denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute an arbitrary code via a crafted tiff image which     triggers a heap-based buffer overflow. (CVE-2023-40745)

    Multiple potential integer overflow in raw2tiff.c in libtiff <= 4.5.1 can allow remote attackers to cause     a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute an arbitrary code via a crafted tiff image     which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow. (CVE-2023-41175)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product security advisory.

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 packages installed, the EulerOS Virtualization installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - 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)

  - 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)

  - 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)

  - LibTIFF is vulnerable to an integer overflow. This flaw allows remote attackers to cause a denial of     service (application crash) or possibly execute an arbitrary code via a crafted tiff image, which triggers     a heap-based buffer overflow. (CVE-2023-40745)
