Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains information about 7 vulnerabilities.

1) Buffer overflow

EUVDB-ID: #VU63910

Risk: Medium

CVSSv3.1: 6.5 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2020-19131

CWE-ID: CWE-119 - Memory corruption

Exploit availability: No

Description

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

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in the invertImage() function in the tiffcrop component. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted file to the application and perform a denial of service attack.

Mitigation

Update the affected package tiff to the latest version.

Vulnerable software versions

Ubuntu: 14.04 - 22.04

libtiff-tools (Ubuntu package): before 4.3.0-6ubuntu0.1

2) Buffer overflow

EUVDB-ID: #VU65438

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-2020-19144

CWE-ID: CWE-119 - Memory corruption

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when processing files within the _TIFFmemcpy() funtion in "tif_unix.c". A remote attacker can create a specially crafted image file, trick the victim into opening it, trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.

Mitigation

Update the affected package tiff to the latest version.

Vulnerable software versions
