Synopsis
The remote Amazon Linux 2 host is missing a security update.Description
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 ALAS2-2022-1814 advisory.A flaw was found in libtiff where a NULL source pointer passed as an argument to the memcpy() function within the TIFFReadDirectory() in tif_dirread.c. This flaw allows an attacker to exploit this vulnerability via a crafted TIFF file, causing a crash and leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2022-0562)
A flaw was found in libtiff-4.0.3-35.amzn2.0.1 as packaged on Amazon Linux 2. When processing a malicious TIFF file, an invalid range may be passed as an argument to the memset() function within TIFFFetchStripThing() in tif_dirread.c. This will cause TIFFFetchStripThing() to segfault. Actors can use this issue to potentially cause a Denial of Service condition. (CVE-2022-34266)
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.
