CBL Mariner 2.0 Security Update: libtiff (CVE-2024-7006)

high Nessus Plugin ID 205790

Synopsis

The remote CBL Mariner host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The version of libtiff installed on the remote CBL Mariner 2.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2024-7006 advisory.

 - A null pointer dereference flaw was found in Libtiff via `tif_dirinfo.c`. This issue May allow an attacker to trigger memory allocation failures through certain means, such as restricting the heap space size or injecting faults, causing a segmentation fault. This can cause an application crash, eventually leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2024-7006)

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

Solution

Update the affected packages.
