Amazon Linux AMI : libtiff (ALAS-2022-1647)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 168608

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Amazon Linux AMI host is missing a security update.

Description

The version of libtiff installed on the remote host is prior to 4.0.3-35.40. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS-2022-1647 advisory.

 A flaw was found in libtiffs tiffcrop utility that has a uint32_t underflow that can lead to an out-of- bounds read and write. This flaw allows an attacker who supplies a crafted file to tiffcrop to cause a crash or, in some cases, further exploitation. (CVE-2022-2867)

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

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

Solution

Run 'yum update libtiff' to update your system.
