An out-of-memory flaw was found in libtiff that could be triggered by passing a crafted tiff file to the TIFFRasterScanlineSize64() API. This flaw allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service via a crafted input with a size smaller than 379 KB.

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.
