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 4.0.3-35.45. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS-2023-1830 advisory.

 - LibTIFF 4.4.0 has an out-of-bounds read in tiffcrop in tools/tiffcrop.c:3488, 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 afaabc3e. (CVE-2023-0795)

 - LibTIFF 4.4.0 has an out-of-bounds read in tiffcrop in tools/tiffcrop.c:3592, 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 afaabc3e. (CVE-2023-0796)

 - LibTIFF 4.4.0 has an out-of-bounds read in tiffcrop in libtiff/tif_unix.c:368, invoked by tools/tiffcrop.c:2903 and tools/tiffcrop.c:6921, 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 afaabc3e.
 (CVE-2023-0797)

 - LibTIFF 4.4.0 has an out-of-bounds read in tiffcrop in tools/tiffcrop.c:3400, 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 afaabc3e. (CVE-2023-0798)

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