Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.
1) Integer overflow
EUVDB-ID: #VU20390
Risk: Medium
CVSSv3.1: 5.7 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2019-14973
CWE-ID:
CWE-190 - Integer overflow
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to integer overflow in the "_TIFFCheckMalloc" and "_TIFFCheckRealloc" functions in the "tif_aux.c" file. A remote attacker can trick a victim to open a specially crafted file that contains crafted TIFF images, trigger integer overflow and crash the target application.
Install updates from vendor's website.

2) Integer overflow
EUVDB-ID: #VU22615
Risk: High
CVSSv3.1: 7.7 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2019-17546
CWE-ID:
CWE-190 - Integer overflow
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to integer overflow when processing RGBA images. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted RGBA image, pass it to the affected application, trigger integer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
