Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 7 vulnerabilities.
1) Heap-based buffer over-read
EUVDB-ID: #VU12422
Risk: Low
CVSSv3.1: 2.8 [CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L/E:P/RL:O/RC:U]
CVE-ID: CVE-2018-10779
CWE-ID:
CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a local attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.
The weakness exists in the TIFFWriteScanline function in the tif_write.csource code file due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input. A local attacker can use the .bmp2tiff command to execute a specially crafted file, trigger heap-based buffer over-read and cause the service to crash.
Mitigation
Update the affected packages.
Opensuse: 15.0
External linkshttp://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2018-10/msg00055.html
Q & A
Can this vulnerability be exploited remotely?
No. This vulnerability can be exploited locally. The attacker should have authentication credentials and successfully authenticate on the system.
Is there known malware, which exploits this vulnerability?
No. We are not aware of malware exploiting this vulnerability. However, proof of concept for this vulnerability is available.
2) Heap-based buffer overflow
EUVDB-ID: #VU16204
Risk: Low
CVSSv3.1: 3.8 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2018-16335
CWE-ID:
CWE-122 - Heap-based Buffer Overflow
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to heap-based buffer overflow in newoffsets handling in ChopUpSingleUncompressedStrip in tif_dirread.c. A remote unauthenticated attacker can trick the victim into opening a specially crafted crafted TIFF file, trigger memory corruption and cause the affected software to crash, resulting in a DoS condition.
MitigationUpdate the affected packages.
Opensuse: 15.0

Q & A
Can this vulnerability be exploited remotely?
Yes. This vulnerability can be exploited by a remote non-authenticated attacker via the Internet.
Is there known malware, which exploits this vulnerability?
No. We are not aware of malware exploiting this vulnerability.
3) Integer overflow
EUVDB-ID: #VU15531
Risk: Low
CVSSv3.1: 3.8 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2018-17100
CWE-ID:
CWE-119 - Memory corruption
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to int32 overflow when insufficient validation of user-supplied input processed by the multiply_ms() function, as defined in the tools/ppm2tiff.c source code file. A remote unauthenticated attacker can trick the victim into opening or executing an image file that submits malicious input to the targeted system. A successful exploit could trigger memory corruption and cause the affected software to crash, resulting in a DoS condition.
MitigationUpdate the affected packages.
Opensuse: 15.0

Is there known malware, which exploits this vulnerability?
No. We are not aware of malware exploiting this vulnerability.
4) Out-of-bounds read
EUVDB-ID: #VU15532
Risk: Low
CVSSv3.1: 3.8 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2018-17101
CWE-ID:
CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to out-of-bounds read during insufficient validation of user-supplied input processed by the cpTags function, as defined in the tools/tiff2bw.c and tools/pal2rgb.c source code files. A remote unauthenticated attacker can trick the victim into opening or executing an image file that submits malicious input to the targeted system. A successful exploit could trigger memory corruption and cause the affected software to crash, resulting in a DoS condition.
MitigationUpdate the affected packages.

5) Heap-based buffer overflow
EUVDB-ID: #VU15148
Risk: High
CVSSv3.1: 7.9 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:P/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2018-17795
CWE-ID:
CWE-122 - Heap-based Buffer Overflow
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in the t2p_write_pdf() function in tiff2pdf.c file. A remote attacker can use a specially crafted TIFF file to trigger heap-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
MitigationUpdate the affected packages.

6) Memory corruption
EUVDB-ID: #VU11499
Risk: High
CVSSv3.1: 8.7 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2017-9935
CWE-ID:
CWE-119 - Memory corruption
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The weakness exists in the t2p_write_pdf function in tools/tiff2pdf.c due to heap-based buffer overflow. A remote attacker can submit a specially crafted TIFF document, trigger out-of-bounds read in TIFFCleanup, an invalid free in TIFFClose or t2p_free, memory corruption in t2p_readwrite_pdf_image, or a double free in t2p_free and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may result in system compromise.
Update the affected packages.
