Brief introduction 

CVE-2018-17000

A NULL pointer dereference in the function _TIFFmemcmp at tif_unix.c (called from TIFFWriteDirectoryTagTransferfunction) allows an attacker to cause a denial of service through a crafted tiff file. This vulnerability can be triggered by the executable tiffcp.

CVE-2018-19210

There is a NULL pointer dereference in the TIFFWriteDirectorySec function in tif_dirwrite.c that will lead to a denial of service attack, as demonstrated by tiffset.

CVE-2019-7663

An Invalid Address dereference was discovered in TIFFWriteDirectoryTagTransferfunction in libtiff/tif_dirwrite.c, affecting the cpSeparateBufToContigBuf function in tiffcp.c. Remote attackers could leverage this vulnerability to cause a denial of service via a crafted tiff file.

We believe this is the same as CVE-2018-17000 (above).

For Debian 8 'Jessie', these problems have been fixed in version 4.0.3-12.3+deb8u8.

We recommend that you upgrade your tiff packages.

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS / 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-3906-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that LibTIFF incorrectly handled certain malformed images. If a user or automated system     were tricked into opening a specially crafted image, a remote attacker could crash the application,     leading to a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code with user privileges.

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

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

Several vulnerabilities have been found in the TIFF library, which may result in denial of service or the execution of arbitrary code if malformed image files are processed.
