Description

This security bulletin contains information about 18 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Memory corruption (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-17723)

The vulnerability allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.

The weakness exists in the Exiv2::Image::byteSwap4 function of image.cpp due to boundary error. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted TIFF image file, trick the victim into opening it and cause the service to crash.

2) Buffer over-read (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-17724)

The vulnerability allows an remote unauthenticated attacker to cause DoS on the target system.

The weakness exists in the Exiv2::IptcData::printStructure function due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input. A remote attacker can submit a specially crafted TIFF file, trigger heap-based buffer over-read and cause the service to crash.

3) Heap-based buffer over-read (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-10780)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to heap-based buffer over-read in Exiv2::Image::byteSwap2 in image.cpp. A remote attacker can trick the victim into opening a specially crafted input and perform a denial of service attack.


4) Memory corruption (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-10958)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to boundary error in types.cpp when processing a large size value. A remote attacker can perform Exiv2::Internal::PngChunk::zlibUncompress call and cause a SIGABRT during an attempt at memory allocation.


5) Denial of service (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-10998)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to an error in readMetadata in jp2image.cpp. A remote attacker can trigger an incorrect Safe::add call and cause a denial of service (SIGABRT)


6) Heap-based buffer over-read (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-10999)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to heap-based buffer over-read in the Exiv2::Internal::PngChunk::parseTXTChunk function. A remote attacker can perform a denial of service attack.


7) Memory leak (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-11037)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to obtain potentially sensitive information or perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to memory leak in Exiv2::PngImage::printStructure function in pngimage.cpp. A remote attacker can trick the victim into opening a specially crafted input and gain access to arbitrary data or perform a denial of service attack.


8) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-11531)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to heap-based buffer overflow in getData in preview.cpp. A remote attacker can trigger memory corruption and perform a denial of service attack.


9) Memory corruption (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-12264)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to integer overflows in LoaderTiff::getData() in preview.cpp. A remote attacker can trigger out-of-bounds read in Exiv2::ValueType::setDataArea in value.hpp and perform a denial of service attack.


10) Memory corruption (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-12265)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to integer overflow in the LoaderExifJpeg class in preview.cpp. A remote attacker can trigger out-of-bounds read in Exiv2::MemIo::read in basicio.cpp and perform a denial of service attack.


11) Segmentation fault (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-5772)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to uncontrolled recursion in the Exiv2::Image::printIFDStructure function in the image.cpp file. A remote attacker can trick the victim into opening a specially crafted tif input, trigger segmentation fault and perform a denial of service attack.


12) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-8976)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to out-of-bounds read in image.cpp Exiv2::Internal::stringFormat. A remote attacker can trick the victim into opening a specially crafted input, trigger an error in jpgimage.cpp and perform a denial of service attack.


13) Memory corruption (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-8977)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to boundary error in Exiv2::Internal::printCsLensFFFF function in canonmn_int.cpp. A remote attacker can trick the victim into opening a specially crafted input, trigger memory corruption and perform a denial of service attack.


14) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-9144)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to obtain potentially sensitive information or perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to out-of-bounds read in Exiv2::Internal::binaryToString in image.cpp. A remote attacker can trick the victim into opening a specially crafted input and gain access to arbitrary data or perform a denial of service attack.


15) Memory corruption (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-9145)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to boundary error in the constructor with an initial buffer size in the DataBuf class in include/exiv2/types.hpp. A remote attacker can trick the victim into opening a specially crafted input, trigger a SIGABRT during an attempt at memory allocation and perform a denial of service attack.


16) Assertion failure (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-9303)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to assertion failure in BigTiffImage::readData in bigtiffimage.cpp. A remote attacker can trick the victim into opening a specially crafted input and perform a denial of service attack.


17) Divide by zero (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-9304)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to divide by zero in BigTiffImage::printIFD in bigtiffimage.cpp. A remote attacker can trick the victim into opening a specially crafted input and perform a denial of service attack.


18) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-9305)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to obtain potentially sensitive information or perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to out-of-bounds read in IptcData::printStructure in iptc.c, related to the "== 0x1c" case. A remote attacker can trick the victim into opening a specially crafted input and gain access to arbitrary data or perform a denial of service attack.
