Description
This security bulletin contains information about 8 vulnerabilities.
1) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-2953)
CWE-ID: CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read
CVSSv4: 6.9 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition in the extractImageSection() function in tools/tiffcrop.c. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted TIFF 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)
CWE-ID: CWE-191 - Integer underflow
CVSSv4: 9.3 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
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)
CWE-ID: CWE-191 - Integer underflow
CVSSv4: 9.3 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
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) Release of invalid pointer or reference (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-2521)
CWE-ID: CWE-763 - Release of invalid pointer or reference
CVSSv4: 6.9 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to an invalid pointer free operation within the TIFFClose() function in tif_close.c. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted file to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.5) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-2868)
CWE-ID: CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read
CVSSv4: 6.9 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
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.
6) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-1354)
CWE-ID: CWE-122 - Heap-based Buffer Overflow
CVSSv4: 9.3 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
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.
7) Double Free (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-2519)
CWE-ID: CWE-415 - Double Free
CVSSv4: 6.9 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a double free error within the rotateImage() function in tiffcrop.c. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted file to the application, trigger a double free and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.8) Reachable Assertion (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-2520)
CWE-ID: CWE-617 - Reachable Assertion
CVSSv4: 6.9 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a reachable assertion within the rotateImage() function in tiffcrop.c. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted file to the application, trigger assertion failure and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
