SB2019040509 - OpenSUSE Linux update for tiff

Description

This security bulletin contains information about 4 secuirty vulnerabilities.

1) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-19210)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS condition.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input processed by the TIFFWriteDirectorySec function, as defined in the tif_dirwrite.c source code file. A remote attacker can trick the victim into opening or executing a file that submits malicious input, trigger a NULL pointer dereference and cause the service to crash.

2) Memory leak (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-6128)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform DoS attack on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due memory leak in TIFFFdOpen function in tif_unix.c. A remote attacker can trigger memory leak and perform denial of service attack.

3) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-7663)

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

The vulnerability exists due to an invalid address dereference condition that exists in the TIFFWriteDirectoryTagTransferfunction, as defined in the libtiff/tif_dirwrite.c source code file. A remote attacker can trick the victim into accessing a Tagged Image File Format (TIFF) file that submits malicious input and trigger a segmentation fault in the cpSeparateBufToContigBuf function in the tiffcp.c file, resulting in a DoS condition.

4) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-17000)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a NULL pointer dreference error in the function _TIFFmemcmp at tif_unix.c (called from TIFFWriteDirectoryTagTransferfunction). A remote attacker can create a specially crafted tiff file and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
