Description
This security bulletin contains information about 5 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Division by zero (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-2056)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The
vulnerability exists due to a division by zero error when parsing TIFF
files in tiffcrop. A remote attacker can trick the victim to open a specially
crafted file and crash the affected application.
2) Division by zero (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-2057)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a division by zero error when parsing TIFF files in tiffcrop. A remote attacker can trick the victim to open a specially crafted file and crash the affected application.3) Division by zero (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-2058)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a division by zero error when parsing TIFF files in tiffcrop. A remote attacker can trick the victim to open a specially crafted file and crash the affected application.
4) Stack-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-34526)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the _TIFFVGetField() function in Tiffsplit. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted file to the application, trigger a stack-based buffer overflow and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
5) Integer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-3970)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to integer overflow within the TIFFReadRGBATileExt() function in libtiff/tif_getimage.c. A remote attacker can trick the victim to open a specially crafted TIFF file, trigger an integer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
