Package : tiff Version : 4.1.0+git191117-2~deb10u9 CVE ID : CVE-2023-3576 CVE-2023-52356

Two vulnerabilities were discovered in tiff, Tag Image File Format library.

CVE-2023-3576

A memory leak flaw was found in Libtiff's tiffcrop utility. This issue occurs when tiffcrop operates on a TIFF image file, allowing an attacker to pass a crafted TIFF image file to tiffcrop utility, which causes this memory leak issue, resulting an application crash, eventually leading to a denial of service

CVE-2023-52356

A segment fault (SEGV) flaw was found in libtiff that could be triggered by passing a crafted tiff file to the TIFFReadRGBATileExt() API. This flaw allows a remote attacker to cause a heap-buffer overflow, leading to a denial of service.

For Debian 10 buster, these problems have been fixed in version 4.1.0+git191117-2~deb10u9.

We recommend that you upgrade your tiff packages.
