NewStart CGSL MAIN 6.02 : libtiff Multiple Vulnerabilities (NS-SA-2022-0084)

high Nessus Plugin ID 167491

Synopsis

The remote NewStart CGSL host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version MAIN 6.02, has libtiff packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

- A flaw was found in libtiff. Due to a memory allocation failure in tif_read.c, a crafted TIFF file can lead to an abort, resulting in denial of service. (CVE-2020-35521)

- In LibTIFF, there is a memory malloc failure in tif_pixarlog.c. A crafted TIFF document can lead to an abort, resulting in a remote denial of service attack. (CVE-2020-35522)

- An integer overflow flaw was found in libtiff that exists in the tif_getimage.c file. This flaw allows an attacker to inject and execute arbitrary code when a user opens a crafted TIFF file. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality, integrity, as well as system availability. (CVE-2020-35523)

- A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in libtiff in the handling of TIFF images in libtiff's TIFF2PDF tool. A specially crafted TIFF file can lead to arbitrary code execution. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality, integrity, as well as system availability. (CVE-2020-35524)

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