Description
This security bulletin contains information about 5 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-2868)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition within the tiffcrop utility. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted file to the application, trigger an out-of-bounds read error and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
2) Integer underflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-2869)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to integer underflow within the extractContigSamples8bits routine in the tiffcrop utility. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted file to the affected application, trigger an integer underflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
3) Integer underflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-2867)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to integer underflow within the tiffcrop utility. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted file to the affected application, trigger an integer underflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
4) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-1354)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the TIFFReadRawDataStriped() function in tiffinfo.c. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted TIFF file to the application that is using the affected library, trigger a 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.
5) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-1355)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within tiffcp.c when processing TIFF files. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted TIFF file to the application that is using the affected library, trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
